Event Description
Apple bud grafting is a common horticultural technique used to propagate apple trees by joining a bud from a desired apple variety (the scion) onto a compatible rootstock. This method ensures that the new tree retains the genetic characteristics of the parent tree, such as fruit quality and disease resistance.
