How does propagation by budding differ from propagation by grafting? What are

the advantages of budding over grafting?



What will be an ideal response?


The process of budding is actually a form of grafting; in fact, budding is sometimes called
bud grafting. Budding differs from grafting in several ways, however. In budding, a single
bud is used instead of a scion. Because of this, many more plants can be reproduced from
the same amount of parent wood. Budding is also accomplished more quickly and is
when the rootstock is in active growth rather than in the dormant (resting) stage, either
in spring (March or April), in June, or in late summer or fall (July through -September).
All of these differences may be considered advantages when compared to grafting.
