Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -There are two slightly different methods of budding – chip budding and T budding. The difference between the two is procedure timing and the amount of wood taken with the bud. When is budding done? Chip budding can be done in early spring when the trees start growing and the bark starts to separate from the cambium.
Detailed explanation-2: -Budding Process 1. Make a vertical cut through the bark ofthe under-stock about IlIz inches long (Figure Ia). At the top of this cut make a horizontal cut (Figure Ib), thus forming the T-cut. (In the Inverted T-bud the horizontal cut is made at the base ofthe verti-cal cut, Figure 4a.)
