 Catch up - Steps 3 & 4 ♥♥ Charmed One ♥♥ Queen of the North♥♥
Moving on.
Bella moved her rootstock to the side and moved her dadap tree in front of her. She already guessed that they would be putting them together, so the next steps would be just a simple as the ones before. It was just like Professor Myers said, almost like a puzzle and she was going to make sure that it fit together perfectly. She looked over at the board to view the next picture that was showing them exactly what to do next. She paused for a moment to make sure her notes were up to date, just in case these steps were needed for a later class.
She picked up her grafting knife, having set it to the side when she wasn't using it, and carefully started to cut her dadap tree at a forty-five-degree angle. This time in the opposite way from what she did the Persian silk tree. She was a little worried that the two pieces wouldn’t fit together, but once she had finished making that cut and tested them, they fit together perfect enough.
“Awesome… it fits,” Bella muttered softly, very pleased with herself. Now all she had left to do for this part is make the tongue, which she thought was easier than making the forty-five-degree angle. Careful not to damage any buds or leaves, she measured where the tongue was on her stock tree in order to place the tongue in the right place for her scion, before making the tongue.
