12 x Gardman Clear Budding Tape - Professional Grafting & Propagation Support (Bundle Pack)

The Gardman Clear Budding Tape is a specialized horticultural tool designed to ensure the success of budding and grafting projects. This high-performance tape provides a secure, flexible seal that holds scions and buds firmly in place against the rootstock, promoting rapid vascular connection and callous formation. Its transparent finish allows for easy visual monitoring of the graft union, enabling you to check for signs of growth or potential issues without disturbing the delicate bond. Engineered with a unique balance of strength and elasticity, the tape expands as the plant grows, preventing the constriction and "girdling" common with rigid ties. Whether you are top-working fruit trees, propagating roses, or experimenting with ornamental woody plants, this budding tape creates a moisture-tight barrier that protects the union from dehydration and pathogens while the plant heals.

Best For: Securing bud and scion grafts on fruit trees, roses, and ornamental shrubs to ensure successful healing and high-yield propagation.

Key Features

• Crystal Clear Transparency: Allows for effortless inspection of the budding site to monitor progress and health throughout the healing phase.
• Elastic Growth-Friendly Seal: Designed to stretch with the natural expansion of the branch, reducing the risk of strangulation as the plant matures.
• Moisture-Tight Barrier: Effectively seals the graft union to prevent sap loss and protect against the entry of air, water, and disease-causing organisms.
• High-Tack Secure Adhesion: Provides the necessary tension to keep the cambium layers of the bud and rootstock in perfect contact for successful "take."
• Durable & Weatherproof: Formulated to withstand outdoor conditions, irrigation, and UV exposure during the critical weeks of the grafting process.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
