Scion Preparation
Scion Preparation. The first task for the grafting crew is to prepare enough scion wood for the day. Consult with the grafting crew to determine the number of vines to be grafted each day. The canes from storage are cut into 2-bud lengths using hand shears, and must be kept moist.Grafters Toolbox
Grafters Toolbox. The grafting crew often uses a modified wooden carpenters toolbox to carry their supplies. One side holds the prepared scion and the other holds two sharp, high quality grafting knives, grafting tape, and hand shears. The scion is pre-soaked in water and covered with a moist towel. (Note the large-sized caliper scion and wet towel on the box handle.)
