WHIP GRAFT: Graft in which the scion and rootstock are locked together tighter than in ordinary grafting.
WHORLED: Leaf form, where three or more leaves radiate from a single node.
_Whip Grafting._
Whip, or as it is sometimes called tongue grafting, is the most generally adopted in nurseries for propagating fruittrees.
Paul recommends whip grafts, noting there is no need to tar the grafts against desiccation. He also suggests that using thick florist's tape on the grafts will avoid the need to remove it after grafting, as it expands and breaks as the tree grows.
