State
Horticulturists propagate plants via grafting, joining scion to rootstock; cuttings, rooting a detached stem; layering, rooting a bent stem; and micropropagation, growing plantlets in sterile culture.
Show
Grafting joins a fruit-producing scion to disease-resistant stock, combining favorable traits from two plants in one tree.
Watch for
A grafted tree's scion and stock stay genetically distinct — joining two individuals without merging their genomes.
