Asexual propagation
Reproduction of new plants from existing
stem, leaf or root of parent plant
No seed is formed
Produces an exact duplicate of the parent
plant called a clone
Can produce new plants from plants that
are difficult to produce from seed
What are types of Asexual
propagation?
Stem cuttings
Leaf cuttings
Leaf-bud cuttings
Budding
Layering
Separation and division
Tissue culture
Grafting
What are stem cuttings?
Stem cuttings:
A portion of the stem that contains a
terminal bud or lateral buds is cut and
placed in growing media to produce
roots.
Stem Cutting with terminal growing area.
Stem Cutting
Leaf cuttings
Layering is a mean of
plant propagation in which a portion of
an aerial stem grow roots while still
attached to the parent plant and then
detaches as an independent plant

Air Layering
Separation
Take mature plants that were
stolons or offspring from a parent
plant and separate.
Stolons – Parent plant puts out runners and each
node a new plant forms along with roots.
Runners or Stolons
Separation of runner from parent.
Separation Method
Tissue culture
Rootstock:
That part of a tree which becomes the root system
of a grafted or budded tree.
Scion:
A piece of last year's growth with three or four buds;
the part inserted on the understock.
Cambium:
The growing part of the tree; located between the
wood and bark.
Types of Grafting
Cleft Graft
Bark Graft
Side-Veneer Graft
Splice Graft
Whip and Tongue Graft
Saddle Graft
Bridge Graft
Inarch Graft
Approach Graft
Cleft Graft
grafting is a method for top working both flowering and fruiting trees
The scion should be about 1/4 inch in diameter, straight, and long
Make an inward cut at the base so that the flap of bark and wood
can be removed from the rootstock.
In splice grafting, both the stock and scion must be of the same
diameter.
Cut off the rootstock using a diagonal cut 3/4 to 1 inch long.
Make the same type of cut at the base of the scion. Fit the scion
to the stock.
Cut off the stock using a diagonal cut. The cut should be four to
Select scions that are straight and about twice as long as the
damaged area to be bridged. Make a 1 1/2- to 2-inch-long tapered
cut on the same plane at each end of the scion.
Cut a flap in the bark on the rootstock the same width as the
scion and below the injury to be repaired.
Bridge Graft
Inarch Graft
At the point where the two plants will join, a 1- 2 inch long slice
of bark is cut on each stem.
The two stems are bound together, with the cut areas touching,
using any wrapping material.
Approach Graft
Advantages of Grafting
Hardiness: Because the scion has weak roots or the roots of the stock
plants have roots tolerant of difficult conditions.
Repair: To repair damage to the trunk of a tree that would prohibit nutrient
flow, such as stripping of the bark by rodents that completely girdles the
trunk.
