Japanese Maple Grafting Attempt
Well, I got bored today, so I decided to try my hand at grafting since I have so many seedlings from last year. And lucky you, I was bored enough to take pics of the process just in case it works out!
So first, here we get the rootstock, a Japanese Maple grown from seed last spring, which makes it one year old  Looks thick enough to graft soemthing on to it... |

Next, I cut a slit into the rootstock, It is about and inch-ish in length

Next is to select the scion (dormant). Since I am so in love with my Higasayama, which I got last fall, I decided to use it. I just chose a length that I liked.

Then I cut the ends of the dormant scion in a "v" shape

Of all the grafting sites Ive checked out, they use grafting rubber or whatever, to me it looked like a rubber band you would find around broccoli or something, so since they look alike, I used just that
So I tightly wrapped the rootstock and scion with a thick rubber bandLast edited by Kazuki : 17-Feb-2003 at 10:48 PM. |

And Lastly I popped it into the propagating house with bottom heating, hopefully would help.. Well I hope this works... Maybe Glenn or someone can help me out and tell me if I was on the right track.
FIN! |

Grafting
Some suggestions. First a grafting knife that is sharper than a rasor. Second it is important to line up the cambiam layer. Third the rubber is just to keep preasure on the graft long enough for the graft to take. The bottom heat looks good and the plastic cover will help also. Keep moist but not wet, look for the sion to start growing and harden off slowly.
