grafting techniques

Grafting is a horticultural technique where a part of one plant (the scion) is joined to another plant (the rootstock) to grow together as a single plant. This method allows for combining desirable traits, such as a good fruit variety with a hardy root system. The process involves carefully cutting both the scion and rootstock to fit snugly, then binding them securely to encourage a natural fusion. Over time, the tissues grow together, creating a strong bond that enables the scion to develop and produce fruit or flowers as if it were part of the original plant.
