What is Grafting?
[[File:Zweijährige-Geißfußveredelu.jpg|thumb|Consolidated V-graft, on an cherry tree.]] '''Grafting''' or '''graftage''' is a technique used in [[horticulture]] that consists of taking [[Tissue (biology)|tissues]] from one plant and putting them onto another plant. The two plants will then grow together. The technique is a type of [[vegetative reproduction]]. Grafting is commonly used with [[rose]]s, and [[fruit]] trees. It only works with [[Dicotyledon|dicots]] and [[gymnosperm]]s, and not with [[monocot]]s. Monocots do not have a [[vascular cambium]], which is needed for the process to work. There are several different methods of grafting; each method has its advantages and drawbacks. {{science-stub}} [[Category:Botany]]
