| Most evergreen (narrow leaf) seedlings are grown for _______ and obtain 3 to 12 inches in size before harvesting. | 2-3 years |

| When grafting, what cell layer is most important and should "line up and match"? | Cambium |
| _______ is the process of combining a dormant scion onto a root section of a desired root stock. Matching cuts two inches in length are made on both scion and root stock. | Root grafting |
| True or False, a graft union that looks like a long Z is known as root grafting. | False |
| The most common method of grafting is _______. | Side veneer grafting |
| Budding is a(n) ________ technique for propagating selected cultivars of shade and ornamental trees. | Asexual |
