graft. GRAFT. A figurative term in chancery practice, to designate the right of a mortgagee in premises, to which the mortgagor at the time of making the mortgage had an imperfect title, but who afterwards obtained a good title.
Most fruit trees are actually a combination of two plants that have been grafted together. Grafting is the practice of joining two plants together permanently, so that they will continue growing as a single organism. To make a grafted fruit tree, one plant is selected for its roots and is called the rootstock. The other plant is selected for its fruit, flavor, ripening time, and chill hour requirements and is called the scion.
