What is grafted plant

Q: What is a grafted plant?

Grafting is a method of vegetative (or asexual) propagation where a piece of one plant (scion) selected for its flowers or fruit and containing the desired genes to be duplicated is inserted into a piece of another plant (rootstock), with a strong vigorous root system, usually a seedling.

Benefits of the graft:

making a clone of the parent plant ensures the same cultivar, since most fruit trees will not come true to seed
taking a scion from a mature plant reduces time to flowering and fruiting (from 10-12 years for a seedling to 2-3 years or less for a grafted plant)
introducing dwarfing, hardiness, disease and pest resistance.
easier propagation method when other means like cutting or seed is not successful

Groundcover and low-growing 2ft Small shrub 2-5 ft Full sun Semi-shade Keep soil moist Regular water White/off-white flowers Fragrant Attracts butterflies, hummingbirds Subtropical, cold hardy at least to 30s F for a short time

With very small leaves, the plant is a compact grower. The blooms are 1 to 2 inches in diameter. The latest of all varieties to bloom, the bloom period continuing into the summer. Outstanding variety for bonsai. Mature size is under 3 ft - very compact and slow growing.

Small shrub 2-5 ft Full sun Semi-shade Moderate water Dry conditions Unusual color Red/crimson/vinous flowers Yellow/orange flowers Unknown name

Lifesaver plants can be grown as intriguing indoor, greenhouse or summer patio container plants almost anywhere. Lifesaver plants prefer bright light or partial shade. In nature, they grow underneath shrubs or other plants. Too much sun causes stems to develop protective reddish or purple pigmentation and can actually scald the stems.
Succulent Care. Plant it in well-drained soil mix, water once and keep in warm (75-80F) place in filtered light. Do not water again until soil dries on surface.

Can be used for bonsai Groundcover and low-growing 2ft Vine or creeper Small shrub 2-5 ft Full sun Semi-shade Regular water White/off-white flowers Fragrant Subtropical, cold hardy at least to 30s F for a short time

Dwarf White Jasmine. This dwarf, slow growing jasmine has leaves very similar to J. parkeri but they are a bit bigger. They start as bright green when young, then turn darker with age. Flowers are pure white, sweetly fragrant. The create dramatic contrast with dark leaves. Jasmine Mini can be shaped as bonsai or a small compact container specimen. This requires minimal pruning. If left untrimmed, the plant may grow longer vining branches, but even in this case it can be treated as a Dwarf grower and will need only a small trellis. Blooms in summer. This is a perfect small plant for fragrant plant collectors who got to the point of lack of space! Great for containers.
