ABSTRACT
The experiment was conducted in Nowaczyk’s Private Trees and Bushes Nursery in Kobylin in the years 2013–2014. The purpose of the studies was comparison of the effectiveness of grafting of two pines cultivars Pinus densiflora(Japanese red pine)‘Golden Ghost’ and Pinus mugo (Mugo pine) ‘Golden Glow’. Three different rootstocks were used for grafting: Pinus mugo (Mugo pine) subsp. uncinata, Pinus sylvestris (Scots pine) and Pinus nigra (Black pine). Grafting was carried out in three different terms (the middle of February, the end of February and in the middle of March). The highest percentage of grafts success was obtained for two of the studied pine cultivars on Pinus mugo subsp. uncinata rootstock. The dates of grafting did not influence the process of pines grafts success. However the two earlier grafting dates increased the length of shoots. The shortest shoots and the smallest number of buds of 'Golden Glow' cultivar were obtained on Pinus nigrarootstock.
Key words: pine cultivars propagation, date of grafting, usefulness of rootstocks.
