1.Approach Grafting –two separate plants are made to unite by tightly pressing the cut side surfaces of the stems. Preferably, one or both plants are potted.
2.Bark Grafting –small scions are inserted into a large rootstock in between the bark and the wood.
3.Bridge Grafting – a grafting technique used to repair damaged bark on a trunk by attaching scions that will connect the live barks below and above the injured patch, serving as live bridges.
4.Cleft or Wedge Grafting –a rootstock is first decapitated at the portion of the stem where there is active growth, followed by a downward cut (the cleft) through the centre of the stem starting from the stub.
5.Inarching –both rootstock and scion plants are self sustaining, both are cut on one side, and the cut surfaces are pressed together. But in inarching, the top of the rootstock does not extend above the point of the graft union.
