Would someone kindly tell me where I may buy Buddy Tape at a reasonable price? A U.S. supplier preferred, but Australia or New Zealand is okay, too.

Also, how does Buddy Tape compare to Parafilm for cleft and veneer bark grafting? I've been using Parafilm but am looking for a tape that can bind a graft tighter without breaking.

Suggestions for a tape with more bounce-back 'memory' than Parafilm would also be appreciated. Thanks!

The Aust-NZ distrubutor is evergreen exports, send them an email,

I usually wrap with BT first to seal the graft and scion, then regular grafting tape to hold large grafts in place more securely.

I use this very product for both t-buds and clefts: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002IS8AVS/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
No issues or problems. You may check whether they ship to your location.
Good luck!
