How to create a new garden look with grafting tape from China

grafting tape from China New and tasty varieties of apples or apricots are not always propagated with seedlings. Trees with fruits of different shapes and shades look much more spectacular. Therefore, for budding (buds) and copulation (cuttings), special pruning shears and grafting tape are used. Much can be achieved with these devices.

Purpose of the tape

using tape for grafting

These works are carried out at the end of the summer. The first to be grafted are varieties with seeds (apricots and cherries), and then with seeds (pears and apples). Considering these characteristics of crops, the eyepiece tape should perform the following functions:

fix the escape;
serve as a protective film against pests (insects, fungi and pathogenic bacteria);
prevent the cut from drying out;
accelerate the engraftment process.

To achieve this result, it is necessary to choose the right material for grafting trees and bushes. The future of the sprout depends on its quality and chemical composition.

Benefits of grafting tape

tree grafting process If you use ordinary materials at hand for grafting, you will have to spend a lot of time, effort and money. In addition, there is no guarantee that the desired result can be achieved. Therefore, a special grafting film has the following advantages:

It is made from biodegradable material. Sunlight destroys the shell in just six months, which is environmentally friendly and quite practical.
Self-adhesive backing that only starts to stick when stretched. The composition contains a small percentage of wax, as well as polyolefin. As a result, there will be no stagnation of moisture at the junction of the plant.
Elastic film. When processing wood, it fits snugly against the trunk. Stretches as branches grow. At the same time, it does not form constrictions that block the supply of nutrients. Moreover, the escape is not injured.
The width is 2.5 cm and the length is one meter. These parameters allow you to economically use the tape. One vaccination takes 3 to 5 turns. So, the gardener will have enough product for several hundred buds.
The film has a transparent and porous structure. This allows you to observe how the cutting takes root. At the same time, the bark can "breathe", providing oxygen to the scion.

The winding procedure should be carried out from the lowest point to the highest. In this case, it is necessary to stretch the film as much as possible in order to avoid dehydration. Also, do not over tighten the canvas. Ultimately, the new bud will be able to cut through the material and grow freely further.

Such an innovative tape is the cheapest to buy on Aliexpress, since its cost here is 121 rubles. (UAH 62). In online stores in Russia, the price of goods is 2 times higher.

For residents of Ukraine, prices are even higher.
