Grafting an apple plant. Chip bud of an apple (Malus domestica) tree being grafted on to a Geneva 3041 rootstock. In horticulture, plant propagation is often carried out vegetatively (non-sexually) by grafting the stems, leaves or flowers (scion) of a desired plant variety onto a suitable rootstock from a different variety. In 2 years, this tiny bud will develop into a trunk and branches while the rootstock will have mostly disappeared underground. | |
