Hi,

Not really a stretch... Two branches cross, and a natural graft occurs.

People were much more in tune with nature then. Observation was the primary tool.

In the writings of Cato he mentioned using willow bark for wrapping grafts. Willow has a very high content of the hormone that causes plants to callous and heal. A perfect wrap for a graft, when that is all you have.

Observatins was the key.

Later,
Tom

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 &
logic to learn that some cuttings root easily, but deciding to try grafting is a
bigger stretch. Wow.

Hi,

Ancient Roman texts, preceeding the new testament of the Bible indicated
that grafting was ancient then....
