does anybody know a firm in Ireland which takes up chip-budding? It would be kind to add adresses. I'm a student and I am very interested in it.
Maybe go to RHS Plant Finder online version (via rhs.org) and search for maples (Acer), see who comes up having alot of them, in your area, try contacting them.
Here is another thread, wherein chip budding is discussed: http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/showthread.php?t=5821.
