  1. Grafting Original by Linda Rist Modified by Georgia Agricultural Education Curriculum Office July, 2002

  2. History • ancient technique • practiced as early as 1,000 BC • employed widely by the Romans centuries later

  3. Grafting • two different plants are united so they grow together as one • Scion - top - vegetative part • Stock - bottom - root part

  4. Reasons for use • give plants stronger more disease resistant roots • cause dwarfing • top working - grafting many different varieties to the limbs of one tree

  5. Reasons for use • insert different variety for cross pollination • propagate plants difficult to bud

  6. Requirements • compatibility • must be related to each other to enable the stock and scion to grow together

  7. Requirements • Scion wood • one year old • vigorous growth

  8. Requirements • Timing • stock and scion should be dormant or have no leaves

  9. Matching of tissue • cambium of two matched plant parts must come in close contact with each other • cambium cannot be allowed to dry out

  10. Waterproofing • immediately after making graft, cut surfaces must be covered with a waterproof grafting compound
