Fig trees are easy enough to clone by cuttings or air-layering andgrafting was never really a consideration. Recently, increased popularity,rising costs forrare and desirablevarieties, and high demand has propelled fig treegrafting into the mainstream. Thistranslates into healthier trees grown at alarmingly fast rates and more quality figs on the table years sooner than usingtraditional techniques. Moreover, fig trees arevery forgiving and novice grafters can learn,easily practice, and master graftingtechniques. But grafting and budding are only a few of the uses for Parafilm grafting tape. With its excellent moisture-retaining abilities, grafting tape can beapplied to the exposed portion of fig cuttings when rooting. Thats right, say goodbye to the humidity bin. Wrap the top portions of your cuttings and watch the buds swell and easily break through the grafting tape. Easy enough for pre-rooting or rooting straight-to-pot. What size grafting tape should I buy? This a good question. There are two different widths of grafting tape available, 1/2 and 1. You might find lots of technical answers for either size out there and theyll probably be correct. But my novice answer will fit most everyone. Buy the size that suits you best. Heres what I found when it comes to grafting fig trees and wrapping cuttings; For cuttings (which I do mostly), the 1/2 width Parafilm is best. Its easier to handle and stretch around crooked cuttings and wonky pruning. For cuttings that are perfectly straight the 1 Parafilm is better because youre able to wrap the cutting faster. For joining fig grafts I find the 1 tape is better. But there were times that a graft may have seemed a little hinky and I switched to the 1/2 width Parafilm for a finer touch and tighter wrap. So the answer is to have at least a roll of each size on hand. But if you can only buy one, get the 1/2 width. Grafting is one of the most rewarding gardening and horticultural experiences. The feeling of joy and pride derived from your first successful graft isindescribable. And anyone can do it. I really mean anyone. Please dont think grafting is only for professionals. Pick up some grafting tape and give it a shot. Dont worry, some grafts will fail and it happens to everyone. Youll realize very quickly that your techniques will get better with every single graft. Some moretips: Get yourself a book about grafting. My favorite is The Grafters Handbook by R.J. Garner. Buy an inexpensive grafting knife. Dont worry about brand or edge right now. Inexpensive is the way to go at first. Check out the FELCO Victorinox grafting knife and kits we currently have listed on figBid.Its a great knife to begin with.
