Grafting passion fruit can be done by using a method called "whip and tongue" grafting.
This involves cutting a small "tongue" or notch in the rootstock and a matching notch in the scion (the shoot or cutting that will be grafted onto the rootstock). The two pieces are then lined up and tied together, with the cambium layers (the growing layers just under the bark) touching.
It's important to keep the graft moist and protected until it has fully healed and begun to grow.
Here are the basic steps of whip and tongue grafting:
- Select a healthy rootstock that is about the same size as the scion.
- Cut a diagonal "whip" shape on the rootstock and a matching shape on the scion.
- Cut a small "tongue" on the rootstock and a matching tongue on the scion.
- Line up the two pieces so that the cambium layers are touching and the tongues fit together.
- Tie the two pieces together securely with grafting tape or rubber bands.
- Keep the graft moist and protected until it has fully healed and begun to grow.
