Abstract

In the article are presented the results of a comparative study of the effect of the scion age, insulating material and timing of grafting on the survival of representatives of the genus Abies Mill. It is established that representatives of the genus Abies Mill. have a high regenerative capacity, which allows the use of 2–4 years cuttings as a scion. The optimal stocks are species of Korean fir and Manchurian fir plants. Sleeping buds, as well as the buds covered with insulating material, should not be removed, as they subsequently start to grow and form the scion crown. The use of photodegradable Buddy Tape as an insulating material significantly increases the survival rate of grafts, and when grafting in open ground conditions, protect grafted plants with a shade tissue.
