Wedge Grafting

Grafting is a horticultural operation which consists in placing together the two cut surfaces of different plants in such a way that they shall unite and become an organic unity. The rooted plant which is to receive the graft is called the ‘stock’; the cutting which is to be applied to the stock, and to obtain its nourishment from it, is called the ‘scion’. This illustration shows the Wedge method of grafting.
