# Best Bonsai Grafting Supplies Source: https://bonsainest.com/best/best-grafting-supplies Updated: 2026-09-14 Publisher: Bonsai Nest. Our score is an editorial rating out of 10 (fit 35%, features 25%, build 20%, value 20%), not a customer rating. Method: https://bonsainest.com/how-we-research#our-score Grafting fixes what pruning cannot: a bare stretch of trunk, a missing branch, foliage on the wrong side of the design. It asks for clean matching cuts, firm contact between cambium layers, and a seal that keeps the union from drying out. Supplies range from thin self-fusing tapes to grafting knives ground on a single bevel, and any weak part of that kit is enough to lose the graft. We weighed blade sharpness and edge retention against tape stretch and how reliably a wrap stays sealed through rain. We also looked at whether the tape degrades on its own or needs cutting off at the right moment. Basic tape and a sharp knife suit approach grafts on deciduous trees. Fuller kits suit growers doing scion work on pines. Sharp tools and working speed matter more here than any single product. ## Picks ### 1. Genuine Parafilm Nursery Grafting Tape 1 inch Roll 30 Yards, 1080 Inches Per Roll (1 Roll) Our score: 8.6/10 (Fit for the job 9/10 · Features and specs 8/10 · Build and materials 8/10 · Value 9/10) Genuine Parafilm nursery grafting tape, a 1 inch roll of 30 yards, or 1080 inches per roll. Pros: - 30 yards on one roll covers a very large number of grafts - Genuine Parafilm gives reliable stretch and self-sealing - 1 inch width suits most bonsai approach and scion grafts Cons: - Single width is wide for tiny mame grafts - One roll only, so no narrower tape for delicate scions Details: https://bonsainest.com/product/B0CMPGTGN8 ### 2.
