Haya,

Also in chip budding, the grafter crosses cambium layers.

Thank you Hiroshi for this nice video.

A good example on chip budding figs, can be seen on page 53 of this 'Grafting Manual' edited by the Gov. of Catalonia. (the Land of Mr. Montserrat Pons)

Thank you Francisco. On page 53, the grafter adjusts cambium layers at the lower left, and crosses cambium layers at the upper right.

Sorry for that the following explanation may be an irrelevant. As for the cut-grafting method, we can adjust cambium layers of scion wood and rootstock. In the following picture, film (thick line) is inserted to insulate the scion wood from the rootstock.  Sample is rose.
(日本園芸協会, Plant breeding, p. 70, ）

A, B and C: film is inserted
D: tongue is removed
E: control group

Comparing A and C, adjusting cambium layers at the bottom of the scion wood is important.

Very interesting Hiroshi, thanks for posting this!

Thank you for your sketches highlighting the critical areas of the side grafts
I know you use with great success this system on rooting your cuttings.
What are your preferred fig root stocks for that purpose ?

Hello Timo,

Nice to meet you.
I will post propagation of Violeta soon if Violeta survives the cold weather in Japan.

Hello Francisco,

The following varieties are reported to be resistant to Ceratocystis canker:
Black Ischia
Negronne

The following varieties are reported to continue growing due to their strong vigor, even if they are infected with root-knot-nematoda:
Zidi
King

I want to use Alma as rootstock because Alma is immune to fig mosaic disease. I do not have to worry about the growth of the root system.

I usually use unattractive varieties as rootstocks to change their varieties.

Hiroshi
