Zack and Amanda at Silver Creek Nursery wanted to compare Buddy Tape and Speed Easy Bud Ties for grafting their stone fruit trees to see which method was faster and had more successful graft take. With their robust data set, they were able to determine that: 

• Grafting with Speed Easy Bud Ties was 1.4 times faster than with Buddy Tape. 
• Buddy Tape resulted in two times the number of trees dug in fall 2025 for sales. 
• Assessing performance versus labour, Silver Creek Nursery will use Buddy Tape for grafting stone fruit moving forward.
