This lesson walks through how to restore a damaged Collected Tree Japanese Black Pine of over 100 years using Grafting. The focus is a hands-on demonstration of grafting new buds into the Interior of an elongated First Branch that has no remaining shoots — covering everything from scion preparation and insertion, to securing and protection.

Learn how to select and prepare scions for effectively restoring a damaged Japanese Black Pine through Grafting, how to use sealed wrapping to prevent scion desiccation, and how to carry out the full sequence of grafting techniques — from bark removal and drilling with a chisel at the graft site, to wedge-shaping the scion, precise insertion into the Cambium Layer, base securing, tape protection, and post-Establishment care.
