DumbFalang Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I have a local source for Parafilm but I'd also like to find some cheaper grafting tape if anyone can point me in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khwaibah Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) This is what the wife uses, no tape. Works great. Edited November 29, 2016 by khwaibah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer555 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) Many things will work including the above plastic twine. If your graft is already covered with plastic etc, you can try a bit of paper masking tape. For small grafts, I have sliced the tape in half lengthwise while on the roll to get 1/4" wide tape. Just take a razor knife and run it around the roll penetrating a few layers, then peel and stick. It is not as flexible as grafting tape, but it does work. You might also try to get some floral tape from a local florist. Cheers! Edited November 30, 2016 by Wanderer555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khwaibah Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Just taken photos. These two grafts are on Spanish lemon trees. You can see the plastic wrapping and it has a compost mixture inside. The paper is pulled back to show the graft but I did return it to cover the graft. The paper is to keep out un welcomed guest. You also can see the twin. The wife has made over 30 grafts on the Spanish lemons, all successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
