“Since the early 1970s CSIRO Division of Horticultural Research has established a wide range of tree fruit species in test sites throughout Australia.  This booklet describes the techniques used for propagation of trees for these plots.  Propagation of a selection of deciduous and evergreen species are described to illustrate particular examples of selection and storage of scionwood, and the timing and techniques of the budding or grafting operation and to suggest a time scale for each step of the procedure.”
