What is rootstock and scion?

Rootstock and scion refer to grafted plants and trees. The rootstock is the bottom half that goes into the ground; the half that will lay roots.

Grafted plants generally take on certain characteristics of the rootstock plant, but will physically still be the scion plant. An example of this can be seen in walnut trees. The black walnut tree is a sturdier and disease-resistant, making it a great rootstock plant. The English walnut tree, however, produces tastier walnuts. Therefore, the English walnut tree is grafted on top of the black walnut tree creating a sturdier and more disease-resistant walnut tree.
