putting a portion of 1 plant (bud or scion) into or on a stem, 
root, or branch of another (inventory) in such a manner that a union will be formed and the partners 
will continue to develop. The part of the combination that gives the 
basis is named the stock; the added piece is named the scion. When more than two elements are concerned, 
the middle piece is called the interstock. When the scion consists of a single bud, the method is called budding.
Grafting and budding are the most widely used vegetative propagation strategies.
The rules concerned in grafting are based mostly on the matching of scion and stock 
cambiums (meristematic tissue, the cells of which are undifferentiated and capable of frequent 
cell division).
