Front 1

5 requirements for successful grafting

1-3

Back 1

-rootstock and scion must be compatible
-vascular cambium of the scion must be placed in direct contact with that of the rootstock
3-the grafting operation must be done at a time when the rootstock & scion are in the proper physiological stage

Front 2

requirements for successful grafting

4 & 5

Back 2

-immediately after the grafting operation is completed, all cut surfaces must be protected from dessication
-proper care must be given to the grafts for a period of time after grafting

Front 3

2 commonly used options for repair grafting

Back 3

1-inarching
2-bridge grafting

Front 4

inarching

Back 4

seedlings are planted around base of the tree, they (or suckers) are then grafted into the trunk of the tree

Front 5

bridge grafting

Back 5

wounded area is trimmed back to healthy, scion is inserted and attached at upper and lower ends,important that scion is right side up, graft is then waxed

Front 6

tools for grafting

Back 6

knives, tying and wrapping materials, nursery adhesive tape, duct & electrical tape, misc fastenings- nails, flat point staples, plastic graft clips, alum foil & polyethyline bags for wrapping
splints, grafting wax

Front 7

topworking

Back 7

change the cultivar of an established plant- either by grafting, or by budding

Front 8

double-working

Back 8

has 3 parts all different, rootstock, interstock, and the scion

Front 9

Three methods by which grafting can be classified

Back 9

1-detached scion graftage
2-approach graftage
3-repair graftage of established trees

Front 10

approach grafting

Back 10

two independent, self sustaining plants are grafted together. After union has occurred, the top of the rootstock plant is removed above the graft, and the base of the scion plant is removed below the graft
