A friend who grows both bonzai and citrus told me about this stuff. In bonzai, you cut off the stump and hope an opportunistic shoot grows over it. He is very successful with bonzai and when I bark grafted a few citrus for him he used this stuff. Very handy! I tried it for the first time today on a few bark grafts and makes them very easy. All I need is a roll of parafilm to wrap the scion and callousmate.

Anyone know about this stuff?




I am not the seller of this stuff:

That is very interesting mrtexas. I'd love to see a little video of this technique. Trying to learn how to graft, and watching videos on citrus grafting for me is extremely helpful. That, and Laaz' great step by step photos have been invaluable.
