Some Factors Involved in the Success of Side Veneer Grafting of Pinus engelmannii Carr.
The establishment of clonal seed orchards is a viable option for the continuous production of improved seed of desired genotypes. Grafting is the main technique used to establish clonal seed orchards. The objective of this study was to examine how the geographic location and the age class of the donor trees of buds, the phenological status of the buds, and the anatomical characteristics of the scions and the rootstocks affect the survival and growth of Pinus engelmannii Carr. grafts. Scions were collected from two trees in each of three age classes (young, middle-aged, and old). Grafting was performed with buds in two physiological states (end of dormancy and beginning of sprouting). Cross-sections of the grafted organs were obtained for anatomical analysis. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to determine the effects of the variables that were considered. The age class of the scion donor trees, the total area of the cut surface of the scion, and the density of resin channels in the scions significantly affected (p < 0.05) survival of the grafts. By contrast, the physiological state of the buds and the other anatomical characteristics of the grafted organs did not significantly affect graft survival. In P. engelmannii, grafting was most effective when scions from middle-aged trees were used. Graft survival was enhanced by a small total area of the cut surface of the scion and low density of resin channels in the scions. The area of the cambium of the scions directly influenced growth of the grafts.
