Layering is a vegetative propagation technique where the stem or branch of a plant is manipulated to promote root development while still attached to the parent plant. Once roots are established, the new plant can be detached from the parent and planted. Layering is utilized by horticulturists to propagate desirable plants.
Plant 20 ft (6.1 m) apart, makes a tree of 15 to 20 ft (4.6 to 6.1 m) or more height and spread, eventually yielding 200 to 400 lb (91 to 181 kg) per tree. [ citation needed ] This rootstock is primarily used in UK and is rarely seen in the United States where MM.111(size Class 8) [ 2 ] is used for this size tree.
Lateral shoots/branches are often numerous on larger vegetation such as certain trees or bushes. A lateral shoot, commonly known as a branch, is a part of a plant's shoot system that develops from axillary buds on the stem's surface, extending laterally from the plant's stem.
Grafting or graftage [1] is a horticultural technique whereby tissues of plants are joined so as to continue their growth together. The upper part of the combined plant is called the scion (/ ˈ s aɪ ə n /) while the lower part is called the rootstock. The success of this joining requires that the vascular tissues grow together.
Marcotting and air layering are the simplest of asexual propagation methods for pili, though success can vary. [12] This issue comes from the branch unsuccessfully rooting after severing from the mother tree. [ 12 ]
Vegetation propagates through clump division, by rhizome, stem and branch cutting, layering, and marcotting. [ 12 ] [ 15 ] The easiest and most practised cultivation method is culm or branch cutting. In the Philippines, the best results were obtained from one-node cuttings from the lower parts of six-month-old culms. [ 7 ]
Inosculated branches drawn by Arthur Wiechula (19th century) Beech tree trunks conjoined. Inosculation is a natural phenomenon in which trunks, branches or roots of two trees grow together in a manner biologically similar to the artificial process of grafting.
Runner – an elongated, slender branch that roots at the nodes or tip. Stolon – A branch that forms near the base of the plant, grows horizontally, and roots and produces new plants at the nodes or apex. Stoloniferous – plants producing stolons. Semi-erect – Not growing perfectly straight.
