Grafting

Grafting is a refinement technique used in plant breeding. In this technique, a part of a plant (in the case of fine flavour cocoa, for example, via scions) with the desired characteristics is placed on a robust, well-growing rootstock. This makes the plant insensitive with strong growth and also ensures the desired properties like e.g. special aroma and large fruits.
