Grafting techniques of Allanblackia spp.

This technology describes the various stages of propagating Allanblackia species by grafting. Grafting is a technique widely used in horticulture and forestry for the mass production of selected plants. It is one of the most successful methods for propagating Allanblackia. The technique involves the formation of a union between scions taken from desirable mother trees and rootstocks that are normally young or healthy seedlings established in the nursery. By grafting, the period between field establishment and when a tree flowers and fruits is generally shortened. This means that farmers can obtain revenues more quickly
