If you have ever seen natural grafts, where roots or shoots intertwined and grew together, it's less of a stretch to figure how someone might have seen that and tried artificial grafting.

A researcher friend says grafting mention goes as far back as the ancient Greeks.
Before that the records are fewer, but I bet older cultures knew about it. What
amazes me is how anyone EVER figured it out! It doesn't take much observation &

bigger stretch. Wow.
