Abstract
A grafting method for uniting a scion to a stock includes forming conical projection on either a lower portion of a scion or an upper portion of a stock, forming a conical recess on either a lower portion of a scion or an upper portion of a stock, and joining the conical projection in the conical recess to unite the scion to the stock. A grafting apparatus includes a holder for holding either a scion or a stock, a die member having a conical hole into which either a scion or a stock is inserted, a cutting blade member arranged and movable along a generatrix of the conical hole, a ultrasonic drive device for moving the cutting blade member upward and downward at a ultrasonic high speed, a rotating drive device for rendering a relative rotation between the holder and the cutting blade member, and an elevating drive device for rendering a relative movement between the holder and the die member.
