“The ‘root-stock’ tree should be of the same species as the 'scion' tree in
order for a successful grafting to take place and a healthy tree is produced. A
frequent match for bonsai grafting is: a five-needle pine "scion" grafted onto
a Japanese black pine ‘root-stock’.
Why Is It More Desirable?
Grafting techniques are often applied at bonsai nurseries for reproducing
large numbers of a desirable species. Trees that are desirable for use in
bonsai have characteristics suitable for smaller design arrangements, which
will persuasively reproduce nature in a miniature perspective.
A range of desirable characteristics for use in bonsai include: form, color,
branch and trunk structure, bark texture, a wide range of leaf shapes, sizes,
and textures, and a wide range of needle shapes, sizes, and textures - for
pines.”

“Grafting method is generally used for propagating trees, when propagation
by cuttings or by seeds is impossible or unfeasible. By grafting, the selected
branch or trunk (scion) of a desired parent plant is attached to the potted or
transplanted tree (rootstock). Grafting techniques are frequently applied at
nurseries for reproducing lots of desirable species to develop bonsai
material.”

“Why Is It More Expensive?
- Grafted trees are expensive for two reasons:
The first being grafting itself is a horticultural challenge
that requires years of dedication - depending on species,
only 10 percent to 80 percent of grafts will take; a
comprehensive education - instruction of the many and
varied grafting techniques is essential for success; and an
artistic sense - as unsightly scars and uneven trunk tapers
are detrimental to a tree's value.
Secondly, a masterfully grafted tree will contain several
desirable characteristics, which do not occur naturally,
making it an excellent candidate for use in bonsai.
