Grafting Tape 2cm x 100m – Stretchable Self-Adhesive Grafting Tape, Pack of 5

Wide Stretch Grafting Tape for Trees and Seedlings

This grafting tape is a wide, stretchable, self-adhesive tape made for binding and sealing grafts and buds while they heal. At 2cm wide and about 100 metres per roll, it gives you extra width to wrap larger joins and plenty of length to work through a full grafting season. This is the value pack of five rolls, a practical buy for anyone doing serious propagation on fruit trees, vines and seedlings.

Extra Width for Larger Joins

The 2cm width is the standout here. A wider tape covers more of the join in each turn, so it is quicker to wrap and gives a better seal over larger grafts, thicker stems and top-worked branches. Where a narrow tape can take several passes, this wider tape wraps and seals in fewer turns, which saves time when you have a lot of grafts to get through.

Stretches, Sticks and Seals

The tape is soft, flexible and elastic, so it stretches to conform tightly around the graft without cutting into the stem. Being self-adhesive, it bonds to itself as you wrap, with no clips, knots or ties needed. It forms a good wet barrier to help keep rain and moisture out of the join, while still letting gas pass through so the graft can breathe as it heals, which supports a stronger take.

Breaks Down in Sunlight

Made from polyolefin with a little wax, the tape is designed to break down gradually in sunlight over time. It holds and protects the graft through the healing period, but it is still good practice to check your grafts and loosen or remove the tape once the union has set, so it does not restrict the growing stem.

A Five-Roll Pack for the Season

With five 100 metre rolls, this pack gives you a generous supply for grafting fruit trees, vines and vegetable seedlings, top-working established trees or bud grafting right through the season. It is a sensible buy for home gardeners, orchardists and nursery growers who graft in volume.

How to Use

Make your graft or bud, joining the scion and rootstock so the cut faces meet. Start wrapping the tape a little below the join and work up over it, stretching gently and overlapping each turn so it fully seals the union. Because it sticks to itself, press the end down to finish, with no knot needed. Wrap firmly enough to hold the pieces in close contact and keep moisture out, but not so tight that you strangle the stem. Check the graft as it heals, and once the union has taken, loosen or remove the tape so it does not restrict growth.
