Grafting Tape Stretchable 2cm x 100m – Self-Adhesive Grafting & Budding Tape

Wide Self-Adhesive Grafting Tape, 2cm x 100m

This grafting tape is a single roll of wide, stretchable, self-adhesive tape used to wrap and seal grafts and buds while they heal. At 2cm wide and about 100 metres long, one roll covers a lot of grafts, and the extra width makes it quick to wrap over larger joins. It suits grafting and budding on fruit trees, vines and vegetable seedlings, making it a handy roll to keep on hand through the propagating season.

A Wider Tape Wraps Faster

The 2cm width means each turn of the tape covers more of the join, so you seal a graft in fewer passes and cover thicker stems and larger unions more easily. For anyone working through a batch of grafts, that width saves time and gives a clean, even seal without fiddly re-wrapping.

Stretches, Sticks and Seals

The tape is soft, flexible and elastic, so it stretches around the graft and grips firmly without cutting into the stem. It is self-adhesive and bonds to itself as you wrap, so there is no need for clips, knots or ties. It forms a good wet barrier to help keep moisture out of the join, while still letting gas pass through so the graft can breathe as it heals.

Made to Break 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 while it heals, 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.

Handy Single Roll

This is the single-roll option, ideal if you only graft occasionally or want to try the wider tape before buying in bulk. For heavier grafting seasons, the same tape is also available in a multi-roll pack so you always have plenty on hand.

How to Use

Make your graft or bud, joining the scion and rootstock so the cut faces meet. Start wrapping a little below the join and work up over it, stretching gently and overlapping each turn to seal the union. Since it sticks to itself, press the end down to finish, no knot needed. Wrap firmly enough to hold the pieces in close contact and keep moisture out, without strangling 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.
