Answers
Answer:
No the whip Grafting and cleft grafting are not same .
Hi,
Cleft grafting is a grafting technique which allows the union of a rootstock limb that is much larger in size than the scion piece. Cleft grafting is conducted in late winter when both the rootstock and the scion are in a dormant condition.
Top Wedge Grafting is commonly used for the nursery production of containerized tropical fruit trees such as avocado, passion fruit, and occasionally citrus, although the latter is most commonly propagated by T-budding. Although the carpentry of a Top Wedge Graft is similar to a cleft graft, the former usually involves placing a single non woody scion on a small diameter (<1 cm), non woody shoot of a containerized fruit tree rootstock.
