I have found mulching and tree guards prepared from shadecloth to be beneficial to the establishment of pot-grown quandongs. Grafting is a means of clonally propagating the above ground parts of dicotyledenous plants when the species does not breed true from seed, or cutting material doesn't easily produce roots. Primary growth is the growth that determines the height or length a plant attains . This growth is due to cell division of a small zone of the shoot. This zone is known as the apical meristem.
Secondary growth is that growth which determines the girth or diameter of the plant stem.
The activity of the cambium from past growing-seasons gives the characteristic heartwood growth rings which are used in dendrochronology. The purpose of grafting is to join the cambial zone of the scion to that of the stock. Grafting quandongs Quandong cuttings callus readily but they do not produce roots. However, I have successfully grafted suitable scion material onto seedling root stocks. The cleft graft is one of the most commonly-used and simplest types of grafts to perform.
