The process of budding consists of detaching an uninjured bud from the stem of one plant and inserting it under the bark of the stem of another plant (Fig. 70). Peaches and cherries are familiar examples of trees commonly propagated by budding. The operation should be performed at a season when the cambium layer is active, so that the transplanted bud will at once unite with the wood of the stem into which it is set. In the case of peaches the young seedling trees grown from seeds planted the same spring are budded in June or September. Those budded late do not grow much until the next season, but then make rapid.
