Budwood
Budwood is plant material carrying buds intended for propagation, commonly selected shoots from an identified mother tree. In mango collecting the term is sometimes used loosely for scion wood even when an entire scion, rather than a single bud, will be grafted. The source tree, shoot maturity, health, and label all matter. Keep batches separate and protected from drying; recognizable leaves or a seller's name do not replace reliable provenance and clean propagation practices.
