All in a single letter! Inoculation and inosculation refer to different things. Inoculation is a medical term, referring to the introduction of a vaccine etc. Inosculation is when 2 trees rub and fuse together. It may be the clue for grafting. From Latin root to kiss #inosculation #inoculation #gemel #apple #trees

#trees #gemel specimen in #Wsanec / #Saanich - #fir & #cedar 🌲 This is an example of when trees #naturally #graft themselves & increase their #survival rates. Some trees have broken branches & they find parts of healthier trees to graft onto & keep growing. I love spotting gemels in the #forest 🥰
