Grafting

Hi, I am new to this but am trying to educate myself in the practice of Grafting (maily from rootstock on maples). I was wondering if it is really nessary to use wax on the graft before wrapping with tape? Also as far as a cutting utensil will any sharp knife work?

Is there a difference between Grafting tape and nursery tape or are they just different terms for the same thing? If anyone could tell me about grafting strips as well it would be great as well.

Thanks in advance.

-Mike

Any knife will work depending on how well you can weld it and as long as it is hones sharp and clean. Grafting tape is usually waxed wo reinforce the grafting wax used to seal the wound.
