DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The base of the scion is cut into a wedge shape. The top section of the rootstock is removed and a vertical cut made into the stem around the depth of the wedge. The wedge is carefully inserted into the cut, matching the cambium layer, which is the thin growing layer just inside the bark.

Detailed explanation-2: -A scion is a piece of vegetative material that you will graft with, from a tree that produces the fruit variety you want. For grafting like whip and tongue, scions are collected in the winter when the trees are dormant.

Detailed explanation-3: -Top Wedge Grafting is commonly used for the nursery production of containerized tropical fruit trees such as avocado, passion fruit, and occasionally citrus, although the latter is most commonly propagated by T-budding.

Detailed explanation-4: -Several different methods are commonly used for grafting plants. These include cleft grafting, inlay grafting, four-flap grafting, and whip grafting.
