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.
A scion is a shoot from one plant that, after grafting, grows on the upper part of another plant. The stock receives the scion and serves as the root system for the grafted plant. [1] [2] Graft hybridisation refers to a form of asexual hybridisation where heritable modifications can be induced through grafting. [3]
If in doubt, use Quince A as there is not a great amount of difference in vigor between the two. Quince A: Medium vigor — Slightly more vigorous than Quince C, this is the most common variety upon which pears are grafted. Bears fruit between four and eight years, making a tree of some 10 to 20 ft (3.0 to 6.1 m) in height and spread.
Plant propagation is the process of plant reproduction of a species or cultivar, and it can be sexual or asexual. It can happen through the use of vegetative parts of the plants, such as leaves, stems, and roots to produce new plants or through growth from specialized vegetative plant parts.

While some may feel that native plants can be "weedy," there is a wide variety of plants to choose from and many can be every bit as attractive and well-managed as anything you may find in a nursery.
The complementary notches are fit together and held with a spring clip or some type of tape. Once the graft union has healed, the root system is cut from the scion plant and the shoot is removed from the rootstock plant [12]. Cleft grafting is carried out when the plants are slightly larger, and a V-shaped cut is made in the stem of the scion ...
AxR1 is a grape rootstock once widely used in California viticulture.Its name is an abbreviation for "Aramon Rupestris Ganzin No. 1", which in turn is based on its parentage: a cross (made by a French grape hybridizer named Ganzin) between Aramon, a Vitis vinifera cultivar, and Rupestris, an American grape species, Vitis rupestris—also used on its own as rootstock, "Rupestris St. George" or ...
