I took a grafting class with a man who descibed his first successful graft. As a boy he accidentally broke a limb off his aunt's tree. He 'grafted' it back on so she wouldn't notice and punish him. It not only fooled her for the day, but healed.

For his second graft he swapped wood between a purple and a white lilac as a practical joke. He was punished for that.

My point is that no one taught him, he just did it. I bet grafting was invented hundreds of times.

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....
