Last year I wrote a few posts that are part of a longer series on grafting, where the various stages of the technology include and variations of grafting included.

For the first two, it is important to have the scions of good quality […]

When inoculation is transferred from the variety rootstock one so […]

This time we had with us Bosse Blomqvist from Gothenburg, one of the pioneers […]
