You know i've done grafting on my grandfathers farm when i was little.hes workin on grafting right now hes movin in that direction prof/
We had apple trees out in the back yard and they were pretty ugly all black skinned and looking like it had elephantitus...
He showed me how to graft apple trees that we grew to grow new apples on any (apple)tree you wanted..
It was so Simple and elegant. Every year when the tree grew he took branches from these and added them to younger trees and then waited for the graft to take and killed the top of the younger tree... thus maintaining the genetics of the plant but giving its youth back..thus he sad the strain would never die, or become diluted.
It was genius.. I often wondered the success rate of grafting.. some plants are so hearty you can graft from a leaf. I heard someone in the community tried it and got roots then death.
But i always wondered could you apply the same method..?
I have seen air rooting i think is my new must try method. rooting clones without detaching them from the mainstem thus guaranteeing viability.
