This weeks lesson is BUD GRAFTING or T-BUDDING. Late summer is the best time to start bud grafting. We cover the supplies, tools and technique you will need for bud grafting or T budding. Choosing a bud stick, preparing a bud stick, choosing a branch or shoot to receive the bud, preparing the rootstock, removing the bud, making the T cut, inserting the bud, taping the new bud graft. Also what to do next year: removing the budding elastic, cutting the rootstock above the bud graft and stripping the new growth below the bud graft (not shown).
