Is grafting vines possible?
Comments (3)You might be able to graft two varieties together, but I don't see why you would when it is so very easy to root them. You could not graft grapes to Kiwi's, but all you have to do is take about a foot of vine, strip the leaves off the bottom 4" and stick it in some moist well drained soil and it will root....See MoreGrafting Bamboo is it possible?
Comments (5)It's not "grafting" you want to do, it's "propagation" -- making new plants from cuttings or divisions. I posted a link to an older thread about this below. It's usually divisions (that contain roots, at least one culm with leaves, and parts of rhizomes) that are used for propagation, although it sounds like it's possible to root Bambusa from cuttings. Also, bamboo is not a tree. It's actually in the grass family. =) Here is a link that might be useful: older GardenWeb thread on this...See Moregrafting herbs? is it possible?
Comments (4)Ummmm... the growth patterns between the woody lavendar and Rosemary wouldn't work real good with the more soft stemmed thyme or marjoram. These herbs all grow differently, so what you might be evaluating as not thriving may be just a given plant's way of growing. I would just let each grow to it's own 'music' and, perhaps, provide more growth-room away from your larger palnts. Have you found a good book on growing herbs? I can't recommend one right now since my favorites are rather old, but it seems as if you might benefit from more information about the growth habit of the various herbs....See MoreTwo tree stems converge possible grafting
Comments (1)Good question. I would think it depended on the type of tree. I have quite a few trees here that have naturally fused themselves like this in nature. I have black cherry and a sasafrass, but thease trees can grow in thickets. I have not seen any oaks or other types do this. The ficus I have seen in the trade are braded as they grow. Some small tress don't worry so much about crowded roots such as river birch wich usually is sold in a clump of three in containers....See MoreGrant Yang (Sydney Australia)
