They are two means of attaching a branch from one plant to another so that is grows there. This is used to create dwarf fruit trees, or a tree with different varieties of the same fruit. Whip grafts are cut at a long angle, and wrapped together. Cleft grafting the branch of the parent tree is spilt, and a sharpened twig of the donor tree inserted into the split (the cleft)- and left to grow.

Whip grafting is a method of grafting where a scion (a small shoot or bud) from one plant is joined to the rootstock of another plant. It involves making a slanting cut on both the scion and rootstock, and then tying them together to promote healing and fusion.

Cleft grafting, on the other hand, involves cutting a cleft or notch in the rootstock and inserting a scion into the opening. The scion is typically a dormant bud or shoot with a diagonal cut. This method is commonly used for fruit trees and helps promote the growth of new shoots and branches.
