Customer Reviews
I like the product and can see that all the buds have calloused but due to drought conditions in our area this year, some buds did come through but grafts are still alive.
Tape is easy to work with. Perforation sections are just the right length. A nice width also. I used the tape to bud roses. One rose bud has popped right through, most have not. I have left the bud intact as recommended. If the bud had not popped by next spring, I'll remove it.
I use it for Cornus, Acer and Ginkgo grafts in the spring. It is easier to use than the grafting rubbers I have used for years.
As far I as I am concerned, this product makes budding tape and grafting wax obsolete. Buds grow right through it, so it never has to be romoved. I can get up to 8 bench grafts from each piece. It's a bargain.
An excellent product which is what we use for the greenhouse grafting of several "challenging" genera such as Juglans, Castanea and Quercus. Holds up well in warm greenhouse environment, and with the perforations, lends itself nicely to the size of rootstocks/scions we use.
