Cleft Grafting

Start by splitting the stock several inches down a straight-grained section. Make sure the split is even.

Shape one end of your scion into a tapering wedge, like shown in the diagram above.
















Using a wedge to hold open your stock, insert the scion or scions into the stock.*

After all is done, cover the whole grafted area in grafting wax.







*It is important when inserting your scion(s) into the stock, that you match up the cambium layers with each other.
