Bud Grafting the Beech

weissenheimer
14 years ago

I am considering trying my hand at bud-grafting a Fernleaf Beech (Fagus sylvatica 'asplenifolia').

IÂve seen many 'how to' bud-grafting articles and it seems straight forward enough, but the buds in those articles are always growing right off the bark whereas all of the Beech buds (at my disposal) are borne at the tip of long twigs. I canÂt see how those can be applied to the normal bud-graft technique. Can they? Can it be done? Has anyone any experience in bud-grafting the Beech who can give me some tips and encouragement?

Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:2615}}
