I did a search for "grafting" here and was pleasantly surprised at how much info there was.

Did some googling from what was gleaned and ended up spending hours in search of an answer never could figure out. Lysenko vs. Mendelian genetics is above an idiot troll's pay grade.

Anyways, that selected cut of the main leader is not too small and I think there are enough people here interested in grafting to start a new thread one day.

So far this year have done only one tomato/tomato graft (successful) and one repair job on a cuke that the stem was snapped by strong winds. General Discussion forum so guess can post the cuke pic here.



The cukes were identical until I trimmed off enough leaves that the repair could support.




I have used the fancy Japanese grafting clips in the past with great success, but prefer other methods such as 3-M Micropore tape or silicone tubing. The tubing is the easiest and best in my opinion.
