Thermoid® NURSERY/GRAFTING & BUDDING STRIPS
Tree grafting is now a lot easier with Thermoid® grafting and budding strips. Normal grafting time is reduced by half. Just graft, wrap, tie and you’re done. Thermoid® budding strips are easily applied and provide even pressure across the entire bound area. They are designed to hold the cut areas of the graft or bud union firmly in place offering better protection and help grafts knit faster. Manufactured from 100% natural rubber so environmentally friendly. Removal is not required. Budding strips begin to self-loosen and deteriorate 2-3 weeks after application. Each strip measures 8" x 3/8" x 0.20" (20 gauge) and there are approximately 33 budding strips per ounce. This is the size strip recommended by professionals for grafting and budding fig trees.

Fig trees are easy enough to clone by cuttings or air-layering and grafting was never really a consideration. Recently, increased popularity, rising costs for rare and desirable varieties, and high demand have propelled fig tree grafting into the mainstream. This translates into healthier trees grown at alarmingly fast rates and more quality figs on the table years sooner than using traditional techniques. Moreover, fig trees are very forgiving and novice grafters can learn, easily practice, and master grafting techniques.
Grafting is one of the most rewarding gardening and horticultural experiences. The feeling of joy and pride derived from your first successful graft is indescribable. And anyone can do it. I really mean anyone. Please don't think grafting is only for the professionals. Pick up some grafting tape and give it a shot. Don't worry, some grafts will fail and it happens to everyone. You'll realize very quickly that your techniques will get better with every single graft. Some more tips:
