GraftBench Orchard Lab
Match scion to rootstock, rehearse cambium-true unions, and draft pollination-safe multi-cultivar blocks before you order a single tree or cut a stick of wood.

Field notes
GraftBench Orchard Lab is a native workshop for backyard fruit growers and small-acreage planters who want grafting theory to become muscle memory—and a plantable plan. Start in the pairing studio with a dense on-device atlas of cultivars and rootstocks, then move to the dual-layer practice bench where whip-and-tongue, cleft, side-stub, and T-bud unions snap into alignment with haptic cues and a scored cut-angle coach. Build espalier arms on a trellis grid, drop vigor-aware spacing on a scale orchard plot, and pressure-test bloom windows and chill bands until every tree has a pollen partner. Phenology chips, care cards, and WidgetKit reminders stay tied to your active plan. SwiftData ships full on first launch—no accounts, no camera, no empty shelves—so every tool is ready offline the moment you open the hub.
Stations on the bench
Drag scion and rootstock halves for whip-and-tongue, cleft, side-stub, or T-bud. Snap edges with haptics, read a scored alignment, and replay the ideal join with the cut-angle coach overlay.
Filter the seeded apple, pear, plum, cherry, and peach atlas by dwarfing class, soil tolerance, and climate zone. Pin compatible pairs; hard incompatibilities flag before you practice.
Lay cordon, fan, Belgian fence, or palmette arms with spur-spacing rules and vigor height limits, then drop trees on a scale plot with canopy-overlap estimates and auto tree counts.
Assemble multi-cultivar sets and watch bloom-window overlap plus chill-hour bands light up. Swap varieties until every tree has a viable pollen partner for your zone.
Pin illustrated pruning, thinning, and graft-failure cards to the plan, then drag phenology chips—dormant prune through harvest—into frost-safe windows on a year strip.
Generate a multi-page orchard brief—pairs, espalier snapshot, block grid, matrix, timeline—via PDF and ShareLink. Save named revisions locally; widgets surface the next chip and chill band.
Match → practice the cut → lay out the block → export a plan. Every shelf is stocked before you tap a single station.
