Grafting methods are techniques used in horticulture to join two plants together so they grow as one. This process typically involves attaching a scion, which is a piece of a desired plant, to a rootstock, which provides the root system. Common grafting methods include whip and tongue, cleft grafting, and budding, each suited for different types of plants and growth conditions. These methods are essential for propagating certain varieties, improving disease resistance, and enhancing fruit quality. Successful grafting requires careful alignment of the cambium layers of both plants to ensure proper healing and nutrient flow.
