I also use parafilm. It’s so clean
and easy and most important it works. I teach students in classes and they
often get a 7% success rate. When I learned with rubberbands I got less than
10%take! We’ll never go back to rubber bands. Dr.

Behalf Of Justin West When I bench graft I tend to use either a whip and
tongue or use grafting pliers. I then wrap the union with one inch
parafilm starting from the bottom up, then dip the rest of the scion in
grafting wax to seal it completely. buds break through that just fine, it
cannot dry out, and it saves cost vs using parafilm on the whole scion. I
learned this method from Martin Crawford of the Agroforestry Research Trust in
Devon UK and have been using it successfully for years. He, incidentally,
has a book coming out this week on Edible Forest Gardening. I can
recommend it to anyone implementing high diversity small scale food production
around their home. https://secure.agroforestry.co.uk/publs2003.html |
