It's usually available from larger garden centres. Grafting tape is
also needed.
Grafting is usually done in the spring~~ budding [not needing wax] in
summer. Both need the tape.
Wax is a real pig to work with. The temp. has to be just right and it's
really sticky.
If I ever need to feel how unable I am at the art, then I watch
professional women budding roses~~ quite unbelievable!! I do a dozen or so a
year~~ they seem to achieve that in a couple if minutes.
Best Wishes Brian.

years

I've found it in the largest garden centre in our area. A tin lasts me and
my amateur fruit grafting attempts for many years.
