GRAFTING CLIP

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a grafting clip surely maintaining a joining condition between a rootstock and a scion grafted to the rootstock without taking any special help of any exclusive tool. SOLUTION: The grafting clip includes a partially-notched cylinder body 20 having a slit 21 formed by notching a part of the periphery in the axial direction all over the entire length; and a pair of operation pieces 30 facing each other in a circumferential direction and projecting in the radial direction from the peripheral surface on the opposite side of the slit 21 on the partially-notched cylinder body 20. The partially-notched cylinder body 20 can be changed in its shape between an enclosing shape S1 reduced into a smallest diameter without addition of outer force and an open shape S2 increased in diameter because a pair of operation pieces 30 are nipped in a direction approacing to each other, and is provided with a joining structure making the rootstock W1 and the scion face to such a direction as to join to each other in a state where the rootstock W1 and the joining part W3 of the scion are gripped.
