Treekote .5# Grafting Wax

Key Features and Benefits

Natural Composition:

• Beeswax-Based: Beeswax is the primary ingredient in Treekote Grafting Wax, a natural and biodegradable material known for its superior sealing properties. Adding stabilizers improves the wax's moldability, making it easy to apply and shape around the graft.
• Flexible Seal: Unlike some grafting materials that can become brittle over time, Treekote Grafting Wax remains flexible as the graft heals, accommodating the natural expansion and movement of the growing plant.

Protection Against Infection:

• Effective Barrier: The wax forms a strong, protective barrier over the graft, preventing the entry of pathogens that can cause infection and compromise the graft's success.
• Dehydration Prevention: By sealing the graft site, Treekote Grafting Wax helps to retain moisture within the graft, reducing the risk of dehydration, which is critical for the survival and growth of the grafted tissue.

Ease of Use:

• Moldable: The wax is easy to mold and apply, ensuring a snug fit around the graft. Its pliable nature allows it to adhere well to the rootstock and the scion, keeping it aligned and secure.
• Simple Application: Treekote Grafting Wax can be applied directly by hand or with a grafting tool, making it accessible for professional and amateur use.

Made in the USA:

• Quality Assurance: Treekote Grafting Wax is manufactured in the USA, ensuring high standards of quality and consistency in every batch.

Application Instructions

1. Prepare the Graft: Ensure that the grafting site is clean and properly aligned. The rootstock and scion should be firmly attached before applying the wax.

2. Warm the Wax: For a more straightforward application, gently warm the grafting wax in your hands or by placing it in a warm environment. This will make it more pliable and more accessible to mold around the graft.

3. Apply the Wax:

• Mold the warm wax around the grafting site, covering where the scion and rootstock meet. Ensure that there are no gaps where air or moisture can penetrate.
• Press the wax firmly to create a tight seal that will protect the graft as it heals.

4. Monitor the Graft: Regularly check the grafted area for signs of growth and healing. If necessary, reapply the wax to maintain a secure seal as the plant grows.

5. Remove or Leave the Wax: Depending on the growth and plant type, leave the wax in place until it naturally falls off or gently remove it once the graft has fully healed.
