- 9. A plant graft made by interlocking a small tongue and notch in the obliquely cut base of the scion with corresponding cuts in the stock.
- 10. Propagation is where seed is not needed, but instead a portion of the vegetation is used for new growth.
- 11. The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
- 13. A type of propagation is separating a plant through the roots, then replanting the newly separated plants.
- 14. The propagation of plants by bending a stem to the ground and covering the tip with soil so that roots and new shoots may develop.
- 16. A plant graft made by cutting the stock squarely across, splitting the cut end, and inserting one or two scions in the split so that the cambiums of stock and scion are in contact.
- 18. The process by which a plant grows from a seed into a seedling
Down
- 1. A portion of a leaf, stem, or root off the parent plant then replanting and therefore the plant begins to grow.

- 3. A single layer of cells between the wood and bark of a tree or shrub that produces new cells.
- 5. The act of joining two plants together
- 6. A graft used to join a scion onto the stem of a rootstock or onto an intact rootpiece
- 7. A piece of detached twig or shoot
- 8. The part of the graft that produces the root system of the grafted plant.
- 11. the breeding of specimens of a plant or animal by natural processes from the parent stock
- 12. A piece of plant (usually to form trunk or a portion of it) grafted between the scion and understock.
- 15. A term now used in place of variety.
- 17. A mutation from a shoot developing from the graft union
