It is a child as in "Prince William is the scion of Prince Charles".

It is a leafy twig that is attacted to new root stock by grafting as in "A scion of the tasty apple was grafted on to the root of the small apple tree so it would fit on the patio."

Scion is Toyota's brand targeted at a younger audience (about 18 - 30 years old)

What is scion in grafting?

A scion in grafting is the small section of branch or shoot from a desired plant that is attached to the rootstock of another plant. The scion carries the genetic material that will determine the characteristics of the future growth. In grafting, the scion is carefully chosen for its desirable traits, such as fruit quality or flower color.


The vigor of a rootstock is usually than that of the root system produced by the Scion?

Yes, the vigor of the rootstock is typically greater than that of the scion because the rootstock contains the root system while the scion is the grafted shoot or bud. The rootstock provides the root system that supports the growth and development of the scion grafted onto it.


What is the segment of a shoot that is grafted onto the root stock?

The segment of a shoot that is grafted onto the root stock is called the scion. This part contains the desired plant variety that will grow and develop on the root stock. The scion is selected for its specific characteristics, such as fruit quality or flower color.


What does scion mean?

A scion typically refers to a young shoot or bud from a plant that is joined to a rootstock to form a graft. More broadly, it can also mean a descendant or heir of a family or lineage. In the context of automobiles, a scion was also a brand under Toyota that focused on marketing to younger drivers.


Why don't the grafted hybrids produce apples with a blend of traits from the Scion and the rootstock?

Grafted hybrids produce apples with traits mainly from the scion because the scion is the top portion of the graft and determines most of the characteristics observed in the fruit. The rootstock primarily influences the growth habit, disease resistance, and overall vigor of the tree, rather than the characteristics of the fruit produced.
