How to use

Bark grafting an older tree in spring

Bark grafting, sometimes called rind grafting, changes the variety of an established tree. It is done in spring, once the bark lifts easily, using dormant scions collected in winter.

Saw the branch off squarely, then tidy the bark edge with the 7.5 cm hooked blade.
Make one vertical slit through the bark, about as long as the scion's sloping cut, and ease the bark open with the bark lifter.
Cut a long, flat slope on the scion, plus a short cut on the opposite side to form a thin wedge.
Slide the scion down behind the bark, cut face towards the wood, and fix it with tape or a small nail.
Seal every cut surface with grafting wax.

A keen grafting knife makes the long scion cut in one stroke, and a flat face is what lets a graft take.

Pro tip

Keep scion wood dormant, not dry

Bark grafts in spring depend on scions cut in midwinter while the buds are still asleep. Wrap them in damp paper inside a plastic bag, label each variety, and keep them in a refrigerator until grafting day. Never store them beside apples or other ripening fruit, as the ethylene gas they give off can damage the buds. On the day, refresh the base of each scion with the hooked blade just before it goes under the bark.

Gift ideas

Presents for people who graft seriously

Two tools in a 10 cm black horn handle make this a gift for people who graft every year, not just once. A knife made in Pakistan with a folding bark lifter is also unusual enough to surprise someone who thinks they own every garden tool already.

Questions & answers

Horn, steel and the bark lifter: buyer questions

How good is the quality of a Pakistan knife like this one?

Look at the parts that do the work. The stainless 7.5 cm blade resists the sap and damp of an orchard, the bark lifter folds out separately so the cutting edge is never used for prying, and the black horn handle with its inox bolster feels warm in cold hands. A well-finished stainless Pakistan folding knife like this opens each tool smoothly and folds it cleanly back into the handle.
