In some cases, new wood is added in the form of cions of last year's twigs. |
The cions remained plump and green for a long time except for a thin layer at the cut surfaces. |
The stocks, in this method, are cut so that the cions may be inserted as the original cutting and not as the new growth. |
The cions should have been cut before this time, when they were perfectly dormant. |
Some place should be provided where he may obtain trees or cions. |
The plants must be handled with care, so as not to disturb the cions. |
