Use
To perform a graft, follow these steps:
- Select a good scion and cut it, ensuring that the cambium layer is in good contact with the rootstock.
- Tie the scion with nursery tape or rubber.
- Apply the grafting tape to the graft area, overlapping it 3 to 4 times.
- Cover the graft area with a clear plastic bag. If the area is exposed to direct sunlight, use a brown paper lunch bag to protect it.
- After 3 weeks, check if the shoot is still greenish; a new bud may appear in the following 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the temperature.
