Question
What is grafting?
Answer
Grafting is a method of vegetative propagation in which a part of one plant (the scion) is attached to a separate plant (the rootstock) in order to grow a new plant. Grafting is typically done by making a clean cut on both the scion and the rootstock and joining them together, then wrapping the graft union with a tape or wax to hold it in place. The scion will eventually grow into a new plant that is genetically identical to the original plant. Grafting is commonly used in agriculture and horticulture to produce fruit trees, ornamental plants, and other crops that have desirable traits or characteristics.
