Tree grafting is the most common method used for grafting trees, especially for fruit trees. However, there are various grafting techniques. Each type of grafting is used to accomplish various needs for grafting trees and plants. For instance, root and stem grafting are techniques preferred for small plants. Veneer grafting is often used for evergreens. 2  Bark grafting is used for larger diameter rootstocks, and often requires staking. 3  Crown grafting is a type of grafting used to establish a variety of fruit on a single tree. 4  Whip grafting uses a wood branch or scion. 5  Bud grafting uses a very small bud from the branch.
There are four main types of plant propagation depending on the type of plant. Propagation methods include taking cuttings, dividing roots, sowing seeds and air layering. Which type of plant propagation method you use will depend on the type of plant you are trying to increase. Some plants can be propagated fairly easily in more than one way, eg strawberries which can be grown from seed also produce plantlets at the end of runners after the fruiting period.
