What do you want to graft? the process differs for each plant. Do a search on Garden Web - search all forums .

Multiple types of grafting of fruit trees is discussed on very numerous posts in the Fruit and Orchards Forum. I'm not usually a big fan of that forum, but I think this case is the exception.

There are other posts in various GardenWeb forums relating to grafting other types of plants. YouTube has lots of videos covering grafting techniques, but you will have to try to filter out the "bad" ones. The only way I know of to tell you how to do that is to watch a few of them until you get a feel for the subject.

The Manual of Plant Grafting by Peter MacDonald is an excellent comprehensive and up to date reference. As with any manual skill, grafting is best learned through a great deal of practice.

For dealing with rare plants as opposed to fruit trees in the ground, for example, cleanliness and proper disinfection of tools and materials becomes very important, no matter what style of graft is used or what plants are being grafted. Suitable understock is, of course, also essential.
