Among 1-year Quercus robur L seedlings, several plants were selected, differing from others in the population by their variegated leaves. Such plants could be useful in arboriculture, if we could fix the appearance of variegated leaves and solve the problems of vegetative propagation. This paper discusses the cytoplasmic inheritance of oak leaf variegation and describes the methods of grafting. Grafting and callusing of grafts in a mixture of sawdust and moss enables the production of an average of 32% firmly joined grafts at the end of the first growing season.
