What is grafting?

• Grafting is the process of combining two different plants to create a single one
• It requires lots of skill and practice, but has been successfully achieved by providing a clean cut on the two plants and taping the ends together until they heal
• The purpose is to combine one plant's qualities of flowering or fruiting with the roots of another that offers vigour and resilience
• Most plants need to be grafted within their own genus - such as potatoes and tomatoes - but it is sometimes possible to graft those of a differing makeup
