A technique and equipment for grafting are disclosed. The technique involves forming a wedge on a scion, forming a cleft or side cut in rootstock, forming a union with the scion and rootstock, binding the union with budding strips, and coating the wrapped union with liquid paraffin wax. Clothespin type clamps are advantageously employed to releasably close the cleft, prior to forming the union, and for securing the union during binding. Grafting tools are provided in a grafting tool kit and include a knife, budding strips, paraffin wax, a brush, a metal cup, hand pruners, whet rocks and honing oil, alcohol and paper towels, and clothespins. The paraffin wax is applied to the bound union in a clear liquid state at 175 DEG -200 DEG F., and preferably at an ambient temperature of at least 38 DEG F. and less than 15 mph winds. The paraffin wax is heated in the metal cup by a stove in region of reduced temperature which is established by a J/C Grafting Adaptor having a standoff element and a platform adapted in use for being assembled to the stove.
