Description: Tree grafting is a horticultural technique where tissues from one plant (the scion) are inserted into the tissues of another plant (the rootstock), creating a new plant that combines desirable traits of both. It's commonly used in fruit tree propagation, allowing growers to reproduce specific varieties reliably and efficiently. Grafting can also be used for purposes such as repairing damaged trees, altering tree size, or combining different species onto a single tree. Grafting tape is an essential tool in the process of grafting trees. It's a flexible, stretchable material that is used to bind the graft union securely, providing protection and support to the newly joined tissues. Grafting tape is typically made from materials like rubber, vinyl, or other synthetic materials that are stretchable and durable. The primary functions of grafting tape include: **Protection**: Grafting tape helps to protect the delicate graft union from drying out, pathogens, and physical damage. By wrapping the graft union tightly, it creates a barrier that prevents the entry of harmful microorganisms and maintains a moist environment, which is conducive to successful graft healing. **Support**: Grafting tape holds the scion and rootstock firmly together, ensuring proper alignment and preventing movement that could disrupt the healing process. This support is crucial for the development of a strong graft union. **Flexibility**: The stretchable nature of grafting tape allows it to expand as the grafted tissues grow, reducing the risk of constriction and allowing for natural growth without interference. When applying grafting tape, it's important to wrap it snugly around the graft union without constricting the flow of nutrients. The tape should be removed once the graft union has healed sufficiently, typically after several weeks to months, depending on the specific grafting method and plant species.
