Budder

/ˈbʌdər/ noun

Definition

A tool or person that makes buds or performs budding; specifically, one who propagates plants through the budding process.

Etymology

From English 'bud' (the horticultural process of grafting buds) with the agent suffix '-er' added to indicate the person or tool performing the action.

Kelly Says

Professional budders are incredibly skilled craftspeople—they can perform thousands of grafts per day with their hands, essentially cloning identical plants, which is why all peach trees in an orchard taste almost exactly the same.
