Hardwood Vegetative Propagation

Until recently, asexual propagation of hardwood species was confined to selecting original trees for fruit or nut production and budding or grafting onto seedlings. When the budding or grafting gave consistently poor results, the trees were rejected; only the trees which could be grafted easily were left. This method of tree selection is of rather questionable value when the final crop is wood fiber because we might lose our best potential growers. The point we must keep in mind is that ease of asexual propagation varies both species by species and tree by tree. I would like to discuss my subject under three topics of asexual propagation: budding, grafting, and rooting scions.
