  2. Grafting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grafting

    Stub grafting is a technique that requires less stock than cleft grafting, and retains the shape of a tree. Also scions are generally of 6–8 buds in this process. An incision is made into the branch 1 cm (3 ⁄ 8 in) long, then the scion is wedged and forced into the branch. The scion should be at an angle of at most 35° to the parent tree ...

  3. Rootstock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rootstock

    Grafting can also be done in stages; a closely related scion is grafted to the rootstock, and a less closely related scion is grafted to the first scion. Serial grafting of several scions may also be used to produce a tree that bears several different fruit cultivars, with the same rootstock taking up and distributing water and minerals to the ...

  4. Fruit tree propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_tree_propagation

    Grafting is a preferred method because it not only propagates a new plant of the desired hybrid cultivar, it usually also confers extra advantages as a result of the characteristics of the rootstocks (or stocks), which are selected for characteristics such as their vigour of growth, hardiness and soil tolerance, as well as compatibility with ...

  5. Shield budding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shield_budding

    Shield budding, also known as T-budding, is a technique of grafting to change varieties of fruit trees. Typically used in fruit tree propagation, it can also be used for many other kinds of nursery stock. [1] An extremely sharp knife is necessary; specialty budding knives are on the market.

  6. Bridge graft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_graft

    A bridge graft is a grafting technique used to re-establish the supply of nutrients to the rootstock of a woody perennial when the full thickness of the bark has been removed from part of the trunk. Damage to the innermost layer of the bark, called the phloem , can interrupt the transport of photosynthesized sugars throughout the tree.

  7. Earlygold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earlygold

    The original tree was grown on the grove of Frank Adams in Pine Island, Florida. [1] For decades the parentage of the tree was unknown but a pedigree analysis indicated that Haden was the likely parent. [2] Scions were sent to the Sub-Tropical Research Station near Miami, Florida, and a grafted tree was planted there in 1942. A distinctive ...

  8. Topophysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topophysis

    Topophysis occurs when scions (young shoots and twigs), buddings, or root cuttings continue to grow in the same way after grafting as they had while growing on the ortet. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] When the scion or propagule grows in the same branchlike way, it is called plagiotropic growth. [ 2 ]

  9. Alphonso mango - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphonso_mango

    The variety is named after Afonso de Albuquerque, a distinguished militarian and viceroy of Portuguese India from 1509 to 1515. [2] Jesuit missionaries introduced grafting on mango trees in Portuguese Goa, to produce varieties like Alphonso. [3]
