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

Since oversized items require special handling, we may need to provide a custom freight quote for your order and will contact you with an updated shipping rate.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup - default method
✔ Direct delivery - requires forklift on site
✔ Direct delivery with tailgate lift truck (extra fees apply)
✔ 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

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
