Grafting

This is one of the best on-line resources for a "crash-course" in grafting:
University of Missouri Cooperative Extension

Another good reference for grafting is the book "A Guide to Nut Tree Culture in North America" edited by Dr. Dennis Fulbright at Michigan State University. Volume 1 was released last year by the Northern Nut Growers Association (NNGA). You may order one from the NNGA by going here: http://nutgrowing.org/nutbooks.htm

An ealier edition, "Nut Tree Culture in North America", was edited by R.A. Jaynes and released in 1979 by the NNGA.

Some popular grafting types for chestnut are the whip graft, the chip-bud graft, and the nut-graft.
