What a nice item I found again on facebook! I thought it was worth sharing, because it's a nice initiative: the Guarrilla Grafters grafting branches of fruit trees on ordinary city trees, so that residents of the cities can pick their daily amount of fruit.
What is grafting?
Plants can be propagated in different ways. Grafting is a possibility of asexual or vegetative propagation. So there is no pollination and fertilization, but part of the plant is propagated (with the properties of that particular plant). (cuttings)
In the case of grafting, part of the plant is attached to another plant, as a result of which the plant grows further on the “understock”. Often this is done in order to combine certain strong properties. For example, a species with a strong root system is used as a rootstock for a plant that carries strong beautiful flowers or fruits.
