No Root Grafting == "Stenting"

natekurz · January 24, 2014

I've seen discussion on this site where some people are having good results with "No Root Grafting". Instead of grafting onto a full plant with roots, one simultaneously grafts a scion and roots a cutting: http://www.tomatoville.com/showthread.php?t=28583

I recently learned that this technique is properly known as "stenting". It's a combination of the Dutch words for "striking a cutting" (stekken) and "grafting" (enter). While it may be new to tomatoes, apparently it's been used commercially on roses for a few decades.

Here's an article and video describing the practice, as well as some history of it's use: http://www.rooting-hormones.com/stenting.htm
