I started a thread here that seemed like the beginning of a book as I was typing it

Beginner Grafting Guide

We have plenty of threads on specific trees, materials, and techniques, but not a general guide for the beginner to learn the basics that I am aware of. I am currently that beginner, so I hope this inspires others to try their hand at grafting and offers the tools and technology to be successful once proper techniques are developed. I will be linking other posts I’ve bookmarked and linking outside articles that have helped me to develop an understanding of the processes along the way, both biolo…

In all seriousness, depending on the style of grafting you plan to do, I’d start with a zenport style tool (less than 30 bucks on aliexpress), buddy tape from sumo bonsai supply (about 30 bucks), temflex rubber electric tape/a good utility knife from home depot (probably another 10 bucks) and a pair of scissors to make smaller strips of the temflex.

Not that I am discouraging you from reading (I love to and have purchased many related to fruit growing in the last year) but on this subject I think watching is all you need.
