Gardman Budding & Grafting Tape 43m x 12mm – Clear Garden Tie Tape

Clear Tie Tape for Budding, Grafting and Plant Support

Gardman Budding Tape is a clear, stretchy tie tape made for budding and grafting jobs in the garden. It holds a graft or bud firmly against the rootstock while the join takes, and its clear colour blends discreetly with plants, shrubs and stems so your work stays neat and unobtrusive. This roll is 43m long and 12mm wide, giving you plenty of tape for a season of propagating and tying.

Made for Budding and Grafting

When you bud or graft, holding the two pieces together firmly and cleanly is the key to a successful union. This tape wraps snugly around the join to keep everything in place and protected while it heals, which gives your grafts and buds the best chance of taking. It is a staple for propagators, orchardists and keen gardeners who graft fruit trees, roses and other plants.

Tears Easily by Hand

There is no need for scissors or a knife, as the tape can be torn easily by hand, so you can work quickly through a batch of grafts or ties. That makes the job faster and more convenient, especially when you have both hands full holding a graft together.

Clear and Versatile

Beyond grafting, the clear tape is handy for general tying and securing around the garden, holding stems, ties and light supports discreetly. Because it is see-through, it blends in with plants and shrubs rather than standing out, keeping your plants looking tidy.

How to Use

When budding or grafting, position the bud or graft against the rootstock, then wrap the tape firmly around the join, overlapping as you go to hold everything snugly in place and protect the union. Tear the tape by hand to finish. Leave it in place while the graft heals and takes, then remove or loosen it as the plant grows so it does not restrict the stem. For general tying, wrap and secure stems or supports as needed.
