| Scion | Rootstock | Time of Year | Type of Graft | Comments |
| Abies spp. cvs. | Type species or A. alba
A. nordmanniana |
Dec-Feb |
Side |
Abies cephalonica or A. pinsapo have been suggested as suitable root- stocks, growing better in the U.K. on a range of soils. |

C. pisifera 'Plumosa' is more resistant to Phytophtora. Grafting of dwarf Chamecyparis can lead to unde- sirable vigor compared to cutting propa- gation. C. pisifera controls growth better than C. lawsoniana. |
| Cupressus semperverins | C. macrocarpa
C. sempervirens |
