Abstract
The invention relates to a method of stem grafting a scion to a stock, wherein an end for grafting of an element chosen from i) a proximal end of the scion and ii) a distal end of the stock is shaped to result in a shaped primary end, and the end for grafting of the other element is provided with a complementary a cut-out. To achieve stem grafting conveniently and reliably, the primary end and the secondary end at least the cut-out of the secondary end is obtained by machining using a milling bit. The invention also relates to an apparatus for performing the method.
Claims18
A method of stem grafting a scion to a stock, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- shaping an end for grafting of an element chosen from i) a proximal end of the scion and ii) a distal end of the stock to result in a shaped primary end, and
- providing the end for grafting of the other element with a cut-out, wherein said cut-out extends
- in a longitudinal direction of the other element at a circumferential side thereof, and
- through the bark of the other element so as to result in a secondary end;
- said cut-out of the secondary end being complementary to the primary end, and
- inserting the primary end in the complementary cut-out of the secondary end;
- wherein of the primary end and the secondary end at least the cut-out of the secondary end is obtained by machining using a milling bit.
An apparatus for preparing a scion and a stock for grafting, said apparatus comprising milling bits for providing the scion and the stock with a wedge-shaped end and a complementary cut-out.
