Whip & Tongue Graft
- Carve the bud out of the tree. Make sure you cut deep enough to expose the green layer below the bark; The cut should extend to about three-quarters of an inch above the bud.C
- hoose a good spot on the host tree. Ideally you want to graft to a branch – or sapling – that’s between a quarter and one inch in diameter, and find a place as far from any existing buds as possible. If necessary trim away any buds within six to eight inches of the graft site.
- Make a vertical cut about an inch long where you want to place the bud. At the top of it make a horizontal cut a third of the way round the branch or trunk – you’ve created your T. Now carefully use the knife to lift the bark either side of the T’s stem,slip the scion into the cut .Use tape or rubber budding strips for this, being careful not to disturb the scion.
- Cut a scion in the same way, but instead of making a T cut slice away a section of the host’s bark about the same size as the scion – the closer to matching the size, the better. Notch the bottom of it so the transplanted bud with be held in place, then fit the scion into the cut and trim until the green areas of both are as well matched as possible. Bind with tape or rubber.
T Bud & Chip Bud
Chip-bud method

After a storm we had damage to our 2 year old tree and if we lost the branch the tree would not look right. This tree wrap worked perfectly and will have enough on hand if needed in the future.

I am using this grafting tape to seal finished tubes of our home lip balm business. I use the clear one. For this use it is pretty good.

What one wants from a grafting film is i.) elasticity and ii.) the ability to retain the stretched shape for a few weeks as the graft takes hold. While these three rolls are indeed elastic, the applied tape doesn't hold shape very well (much like clingfilm) and tends to unravel without external ties. With Parafilm, there is less tendency to stick to itself. This sounds like a downside, but Parafilm also holds shape so there isn't a strict requirement for a good wrap around to have to stick to itself on the next turn. There's also no fiddling with the tape sticking to itself as you take it off the roll like there is with this item.
