Abstract:
The leaf-bud and side-graft methods were compared as methods for propagating rhododendron cultivars on unrooted nurse rootstocks in outdoor mist-beds in summer. No significant differences in grafting percentage were found between the methods nor did either method show inhibitory effects of scions on rooting of nurse rootstocks. Both methods produced plants within 10 weeks.
