Approach Grafting Figure of Approach Grafting Approach grafting is a technique in which two separate plants are made to unite by tightly pressing the cut side surfaces of the stems. This technique is used when the scion is smaller than the stock. To make an approach grafting, the procedure as below: 1. One or both plants are potted. The plants are planted as close to the base of non-adapted variety as possible without damaging the root structure. 2. From both plants, the closely position shoots which at least three eighths inch diameter and preferable close to the same size. 3. A slice of bark which is in 1 or 2 inches long is peeled from both stem at the point where union is occurred. The peeled barks must be same size on each other. 4. …show more content…
The scions are attached in close interval, their number depending on the width of the injured bark. The procedure in preparing the tree is similar to that in inarching, except that two slots on the trunk of the tree are made, one below and another above the injured bark. The steps to make a bridge grafting are shown below: 1. At each tip of the slots, a flap of bark is retained. 2. The scions to be used are slightly longer than the distance from the end of the top slot and the end of the bottom slot. 3. Each is prepared with a long, slanting cut at each end, both of which are at the same side of the stem. 4. Stock can be prepared by removing the damaged tissue on stems. 5. A short, slanting cut is then made at the side opposite the first cut so that both ends form a wedge. 6. The wedged ends of each of the scions are then inserted under the flaps of bark at the upper and bottom slots in a manner that each curves slightly outward. 7. The scions are nailed through the flaps of bark or bound tightly. Bridge grafts should be spaced about 3 to 4 inches apart across the damaged
Many variations and species of plants can be found all around the world and in different habitats. These variations and characteristics are due to their adaptations to the natural habitat surrounding them. In three of many climatic zones, the arid, tropical and temperate zone, plants that vary greatly from each other are found in these locations. In this experiment, we’ll be observing the connection between the adaptations of the plants to their environment at the Fullerton Arboretum. The arboretum is a space containing numerous plants from different environments. The plants are carefully looked after and organized into their specific habitat. Therefore, we’ll be able to take a look at the plants within multiple

Acer palmatum has many different varieties that have different colors, leaf shapes, and growth habits. The tree openly pollinates, which means that seeds from a specific cultivar will not be an exact clone of the parent tree. For this reason, propagation f...
The tree base will have a grooved hole in which you will insert the pole end of the large tree part. The bottom tree part will have a grooved pole that fits firmly into this base hole. Stand the tree base and the first tree part up so you can begin to insert the second tree part, the middle section. Do not attempt to insert each tree part while the tree is on its side or you may risk the connections being too loose. Before inserting the middle piece, make sure the large bottom tree part is secured firmly into the tree base. These pieces should snap firmly together. Insert the middle tree part into the bottom tree part. The bottom tree part will have a grooved hole and the middle tree part will have a grooved pole to insert into the bottom part. Make sure this connection is firm and doesn't wiggle. Insert the final tree part, the top of the tree. Snap this last piece into the hole of the middle tree part. Make sure this connection is snug. Like the bottom and middle pieces, these connectors are grooved and should snap in for a secure fit. Start to pull and spread out the fake evergreen branches and limbs to make your tree look more
This works by peeling the healthy skin off the body, a bit like peeling potato skin off of a potato, and applying it to the damaged area of skin. Ideally, this will adapt and blood vessels will begin growing within 36 hours underneath the skin. The second type is to take a thick layer of skin (Full Thickness Graft) , where the muscles and blood vessels are also removed, along with the skin. This type of grafting is generally used or small wounds on a highly visible part of the body, such as the face. Unlike the Split-level Thickness Graft, this skin usually blends in well with the surrounding skin, and usually grows with the
Two members of the group were instructed to visit the laboratory each day of the experiment to water and measure the plants (Handout 1). The measurements that were preformed were to be precise and accurate by the group by organizing a standardized way to measure the plants. The plants were measured from the level of the soil, which was flat throughout all the cups, to the tip of the apical meristems. The leaves were not considered. The watering of the plants took place nearly everyday, except for the times the lab was closed. Respective of cup label, the appropriate drop of solution was added to the plant, at the very tip of the apical meristems.

Take cuttings for clones before you move plants from vegetative grow area to the flowering area. Low branches are cut to increase air circulation under the green canopy. Rooted clones are moved to the vegetative growth area, and new clones are started in the cloning area using the low branch cuttings. Each cycle of growth will take from 4-8 weeks, so you can constantly be growing in 3 stages, and harvesting every 6-8 weeks.
Asexual propagation is the process through which reproduction without passage through the seed cycle occurs. The advantages of asexual propagation are that it preserves genetic makeup, propagates seedless plants, disease control, rapid production, the plants are identical, cheaper, faster and easier reducing or avoiding juvenility. The disadvantages of asexual propagation are that it increases disease and insect susceptibility, plants are bulky, and the mother plants could become contaminated. The goal of this experiment was to determine the development of adventitious roots and shoots, and observe these plants over a period of five weeks. Due to auxin being produced in the tip, tip cuttings should root faster than any other cuttings. Auxin is a plant hormone that is responsible for cell elongation and enlargement, root formation, and growth. There are two forms of auxins; phototropism, which is produced in the tip and moves downward on the side away from the light and gravitropism, which is where plant roots grow downward and plant shoots grow upward.(Plant Auxin 201...
