Tag: Grafting in Horticulture

In the UK and USA, grafting is fundamental to the commercial propagation of fruit trees, grapevines, and roses. Additionally, some ornamental trees and shrubs, such as Japanese maples and wisteria, are commonly grafted to preserve particular aesthetic qualities. In vineyards, grapevines are typically grafted onto rootstock resistant to pests like phylloxera, a major threat to vineyards globally.
