OK Folks, Buddy tape is here. Manufacturer raised the prices again in 2019.
TAPES WILL BE AVAILABLE in March 2020
tapes are being sold on Amazon and eBay for over $50/roll. This time around cost could be $25, not sure. plus shipping $5. If you order more than one tape, shipping would be flat $10 Priority Mail.
I want to get commitment from all you folks who are interested so I can place a sizable order to bring the cost of 2020 increase down to close to price as last year. Tapes would be from fresh 2020 batch, and available to ship week of March 23.
Will ship with USPS First Class Mail, will give you tracking number. If you are worried about lost mail, the pay Priority Mail Shipping.
Note: Orders are first come first serve, I ordered extra but those who send payments will be refunded if payments on orders in front of you result in running out of tape. So dont wait.
Send Payments via PayPal as "Friends and Family" Option to infofiles@gmail.com, please indicate the following:
1. Your Name and Forum Name
2. Your mailing address
3. Your email address
4. Your choice of Perforated or Non Perforated and quantity of each.
Note: This is a Non-Profit Effort on my part to help fellow gardener friends because I enjoy helping others. All I ask in return is if I have request for some budwood and you happen to have it, please share in kind.
***NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING***

I would be interested in a perforated roll.
Thanks,
Ed
-
Yes! I'm glad to hear you're doing this again!
I'll have what Ed's getting! One Perforated.
How and when to pay?
-
Behl, I would like 2 one of each.
-
Behl,
Please put me down for one perforated roll.
Thanks!
-
I'll take one of the perforated rolls please.
-
Hi Behl, I'll take one of each. Thanks.
-
I'll take one of each.
What is the shelf life of these tapes?
Does anyone know?
-
decent responses so far. I will place the order, and hold on to leftovers for late comers. this is good.
-
I would like one of each as well please
-
Can someone tell me what is the difference between perforated and non perforated? Thanks.
Max
-
I find perforated a little wasted if I wrap lots of scions when I have to start new sections to continue where the precious one left off.
-
Perforated breaks in small strips, makes it easier to work with. Non perforated could be more waste but come handy on bigger wood.
I would recommend one of each. Remember the size stretches 10 times if you know how to do it.
-
I have totally changed my opinion on Buddy Tape.. Its the best! I abandoned my huge roll of Parafilm and now rely solely on Buddy Tape. It stretches way better, is much more durable in the sunlight, and is just better all around..
-
Behlgarden,
Put me down for one roll, perforated type, please.
Jaime
-
Also note that if you use buddy tape, you don't need you don't use rubber band or any other tying tape.
A tip, for tightly tying scion to rootstock, simply fold the strip along its length and try stretching it, its strong, very strong for tying.

Purchase order was sent today, should have it by Friday. If you are leaving early, I can give you mine that is used 20% only.

That's fine

That's funny! Because now I like to use both paraflim and buddy tape! It just depends on the situation.
the only thing I can say bad about buddy tape...is that it doesn't biodegrade like parafilm...I find it's necessary to pick the tape off of the scion after the graft heals.
-
I would appreciate a roll of each as well.
-
That's fine
I might get one perforated. Put me down tentatively please. Plus when people pay you they should make the paypal payment under payment to family and friends. This way the buyer pays the paypal fee of about 3% instead of Mr Behlgarden
-
Hi Zands, thanks form posting. Actually family and friends is no fee to anyone. But if someone says goods and services then it gets charged 3% plus I look like a merchant
-
Hi Zands, thanks form posting. Actually family and friends is no fee to anyone. But if someone says goods and services then it gets charged 3% plus I look like a merchant
Zero fee if taken from your bank account. But 2.9% if taken from credit or debit card. I was unaware of this distinction until now
-
How do I go about paying you for my rolls ordered?
-
I wished I would have seen the post sooner. I will take a perforated one if someone backs out.
-
OK Folks, Buddy tape is here and I ordered a bit more to cover late comers. Price would be $18/tape plus $2.75/shipping per tape, plus $1 for tracking confirmation (applies once).
I want to send with tracking. Hope you all understand. here is the deal
1. Cost for 1 tape - $20 plus $3 for shipping.
2. Cost for 2 tapes - $39 + $4 = $43
Going forward, I will ship with USPS tracking and no signature confirmation. Please understand that if USPS loses the package I dont want to be responsible. If you are ok on taking that responsibility, it will save you $2.7, OR you can pay $5.9 as shipping costs and get it priority mail which seldom has issues of getting lost.
Thanks
If anyone wants priority mail, send $18/tape and $5.5 for shipping.
Send paypal payments to infofiles@gmail.com, "Goods and Services option". Please clearly specify your name and address, and your forum ID/alias for identification. Tape will be available to ship starting tomorrow.
Thanks
-
ok, those who paid got their shipments ready. those who wish to get their tapes into shipment tomorrow as well, please send money ASAP. otherwise next chance I will get to ship out would be Wednesday. Thanks
I have not received payments (I cant confirm) from the following members who intended on getting one, if you sent payment, please PM me again or check your Paypal:
Zands
Pan Dulce
murahilin
Anyone else want to buy please do place your order. I have enough for now, but you never know. I got JF and Cuban007 in line as well and they are picking up.
Let me know if I miss anyone.
Thanks

[/quote]
Adam, confirming that manufacturer says that Buddy Tape biodegrades in 5-6 months. They also don't recommend using any rubber band Or other forms of tying the union. this would eliminate the need to remove the tape and allow tape to biodegrade naturally in 5-6 months.
-
Not sure about Florida weather but California sun degrades the tape nicely. Adan's grafted plant from a year ago is just breaking the tape now.
I also use parafilm+budding tape half the time when tying thicker harder wood that need to be forced together. I'll try the double layer method next time.
-
double layer method works very well. I was quite impressed with how strong tie it creates. again, stronger the tie means once scion is heeled you remove the tie to prevent girdling.
-
everyone, note that I changed shipping. Signature confirmation is too expensive, I charged $1.9 but it costed me $2.7 so I took hit on all shipping so far.

Just about all ebay stuff I get via USPS is delivery confirmation only. No signature confirmation. The sellers feel protected enough with just delivery confirmation
-
Received mine several days ago. Thanks for taking your time to do this. I really appreciate it.

-
are group orders for buddy tape a thing of the past?
I'm looking to order both buddy tape and parafilm early this year!
maybe we can somehow do group orders again?
-
Count me in for some buddy tape. Who organizes it?
-
I would like to try my hand at grafting. I would like to get a roll. Any leftovers?
-
It's always on. I still have some left over from last order. Got more of non perforated than perforated. Post here or PM me which one you like and how many. I am out till Jan 20th though.
-
2 non perforated please
-
Hi Behlgarden,
I sent Paypal money for 1 non-perforated Buddy tape.
Thanks
Richard
-
Have we reached the 'send money' stage yet? If so, how much per roll and to what address do we make the payments? Is it the same as last time?

No. Behl is on vacation.
-
I would like one non-perforated roll too, thanks.
-
I'll grab a perforated if you still have any
-
I'd like a non-perforated for wrapping scions. I always get pieces left over after wrapping with the perforated one.
-
Just looked at what I have. I got the following left:
1. Perforated - 7 rolls
2. Non-Perforated - 24 rolls. (Continuous Roll).
If you were waiting for confirmation, here it is. Those who have sent money, will be honored first on their choice. I do not plan on ordering anymore so this is the last good chance to stock up.
PM me if interested with details. cost and how to pay is on the top of the thread.
Thanks

lajolla, it's difficult to figure out what you added if you put your question inside someone else's quotes. You should have put it at the end, outside all the quotes. I know a couple others do this in the forum, but it doesn't help in getting their questions answered this way.
Now to answer your question, add to cart and fill out the form with your address and then choose the shipping option to find out the final price.
-
FYI - those who send PM and booked orders on Buddy Tapes, please check your email. Tapes are in at $25.5, plus shipping.
-
Behl,
I just sent you thru your Paypal; for 1 Perforated buddy tape.
If your s/h still at $3.00; total = $28.50 sent.
Thanks Behl for doing this!
-
Just sent my payment 28.50 $
-
Got mine today! It would have been faster if I didn't forget to include my mailing address with my Paypal payment; thank you, Behl!
Now, lets see what can I graft tomorrow... :D
-
Thank u behl
-
FYI - I have been getting a lot of messages over Buddy tape and I have been tell them to wait until Spring. Well, I can do another group order if I can see who is interested. Last time not many responded before the small order I did and then I got flood of requests and it was too late.
So, those who are interested, please PM me
1. Quantity needd
2. Preference of Perforated or Non Perforated.
3. Your forum name, and your email address.
If I have sufficient folks interested, we can make it happen at wholesale prices. As of now, I dont have latest pricing, but if we go by what we paid last year, assume it would be about the same.

Do you have any buddy tape left?
-
Yes, couple left.
-
Do you cover scions wrapped with buddy tape, as in plastic bag and or paper bag?
-
Do you cover scions wrapped with buddy tape, as in plastic bag and or paper bag?
I exclusively use buddy tape for wrapping scions and even tying the scion to union, if scion is thick then I use nursery tape to tie the union. 99% of my grafts do not involve any rubberband or nursery take as I dont graft scions that are thicker than 3/8". Never used plastic or paper bag as in CA we have very low humidity. Buddy tape seals in the moisture, even if the branch that you grafted onto dies your scion stays green for a while. I have successfully rescued failed grafts where scion was still green and moved it to another location and it took.
-
Shipping Update:
Another batch went out today, you all should have received or will receive tracking numbers at email provided on PayPal.
Thanks
-
Got mine yesterday :)
Thanks Behl
-
Any left? If so I'll take one.
Thanks
-
Out of it Mark. did you run out already?
-
Thank you all for making the group order successful. Barring one shipment that apparently shows delivered but not received by fellow gardener, everyone got their packages. In the future will keep in mind to allow Priority Mail shipments if there is any chance of recovering insurance from USPS, even then if their tracking shows delivered, there isnt much you can do to file a claim.
-
Out of it Mark. did you run out already?
Ran out of some sent in 2016 sent via JF with other goodies. No big deal.
-
OK Folks, its time when some of you may prune your trees. I am looking for some avocado varieties like Sharwil, Gwen, etc. anyone has it for upcoming pruning, please keep me in mind. Thanks
-
OK Folks, Buddy tape is here Manufacturer raised the prices again in 2019.
tapes are being sold on Amazon and eBay for over $50/roll and we sold last year for $24/ea I believe. This time around cost could be $25, not sure. plus shipping $5. If you order more than one tape, shipping would be flat $8 Priority Mail.
I want to get commitment from all you folks who are interested so I can place a sizable order to bring the cost or 2019 increase down to close to price as last year. Tapes would be from fresh 2019 batch, and possibly available towards mid Feb.
Will ship with USPS First Class Mail, will give you tracking number. If you are worried about lost mail, the pay Priority Mail Shipping.
Note: Orders are first come first serve, I ordered extra but those who send payments will be refunded if payments on orders in front of you result in running out of tape. So dont wait.

Sorry someone sent money and wanted shipped to France, Due to issues with no control over customs and friends not receiving their items, I will not be sending international orders. I apologize. If you have friends or family here, you can have them get it for you.
Thanks

Note: As I always get fresh tape lot I was advised by the manufacturer to wait for 2019 lot, which will be released in March, as suppose to Feb as previously thought.

$26 was a mistake on my part. I have now sent $33. Hope that covers the cost.
-
No concerns, I am just curious if this is the exact same ones . I was hoping to get them earlier than march to start a project. if it is the same, I don't have a problem ordering one for $8 more while I wait.
-
It's same to what? It's buddy tape by Aglis, same as last year, reason it will be March is due to fresh lot. Older lots dont have same elasticity duebtonaging.
-
If this is still open, I'd like one please.

Are the buddy tape better in quality than parafilm?
-
Are the buddy tape better in quality than parafilm?
I will let others chime in, but in my opinion there is no comparison. Buddy tape is it for grafting.
-
Are the buddy tape better in quality than parafilm?
I have only used buddy tape because I heard so many great reports. I have really enjoyed using it year after year so I continue to stick with it. It's worked well for me with mango, jaboticaba, white sapote, canistel/ross sapote, surinam cherry, pitangatuba, pretty much all eugenia, plinia, etc.
-
Note: A lot of folks are inquiring about tape status. Please refer to the top of post, it was expected to be here by Mid March. its been at the port since last weekend. Hopefully it will be shipped out and delivered to you all by Mid March, give or take couple days.
Thanks

Thanks for keeping us updated Behl.
And again, thank you for doing this for all of us!

Are the buddy tape better in quality than parafilm?
I recently grafted 30 sticks on a peach tree of 4 varieties including apricot to extend the harvest. Started off with parafilm, switched to buddy tape after a few grafts.
Parafilm is crap compared to BT. BT is stickier, stretches much better, easier to control, and doesn't tend to dry up and break or come unraveled on the graft after a while.
Mighty nice of Behl to offer this service for ya'll.

-
From my experience, I wrap union with buddy tape, not freen take or rubber bands unless scionif thicker than 3/8". Parafilm always would split vertically and cause failure in grafts. Since I switched to BT, no problems.
We should all thank to Adam for introducing BT to the group
-
Expecting to ship all orders next Monday if not sooner. I don't get time on weekdays due to my hard commute. So if you wanted the tape, get order in this week. Otherwise wait nother week. Will only ship on Mondays.

CA Folks, last call for Peach Cobbler Mango budwood, http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=31384.0 (http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=31384.0)
-
Received the first roll I ordered. Thank you very much for doing this service.
-
Received my roll as well. Thanks a lot! I would like to order a couple more rolls. :)
-
Received the second roll also. Thank you so much.
-
Got my tape! I really appreciate the help with this!
-
Received my tape and scions as well, thanks for arranging the group buy. Buddy tape is way better than parafilm m I was using.

A friend of mine would like one roll of non perforated. Is it still available?

Hi behlgarden,
i paid you via Paypal on the 20th and PM you twice since then. I am worried because i haven't heard any word, not even confirmation of payment from you or if you have shipped the tape or when you will ship it. Please let me know if its going to take time, how long before you ship it since i had already ordered grafts for next week and do not have any buddy tape.
-
This literally got posted 2 days after I ordered a single roll. There goes a nice lunch lol.
-
I hope its not so and he is just busy and is planning to ship them... but what was strange is that the forum showed he was active until yesterday evening with posts and replies in other posts so i am surprised a bit he would not reply to PMs. $30 is not the problem here, i am new to the forum and to grafting and look up to people who have helped this community and have provided so much valuable info. If he had no supply or time for shipping i would have looked at other places for purchase since i needed them within a certain time.

Occasionally you'll come across deals on line. I kept looking and ended up getting 2 rolls for like $20 shipped. This commercial ag guy had them in his pickup not using them. They were slightly bent here and there but in 100% perfect condition. I did about 100 grafts last year and this year. Enjoying the citrus fruits of my labor now with 70 or so large oranges on my key lime tree. This is what some SoCal fellas call "Texas Sweet" - Marrs orange.

Thanks for putting this together. payment sent!

I will confirm payments in two weeks for who all sent. Come on guys, don't come in August asking for tape. Do it now so I can get larger order in.. only have one shot at getting the deal.
-
Behl,
Money sent for 2x Perforated.
Thanks,
Vincent.
-
So is $30 bucks the cheapest you can offer it to us for? Because I can buy it for under $30 online with shipping.

Buddy tape is more expensive, on eBay around $45 and Amazon has none. Parafilm is a lot cheaper, around $10, but buddy tape is lot better than Parafilm in my opinion.

I paid 22$ a roll from a bonsai website a couple weeks ago.
-
Post to the forum next time and we will clean them out :)
What we get here is better than the price on Amazon and a good deal.
-
I realized today the 22$ rolls are 30M long, standard size rolls I believe are 60M, so that was probably the reason for the low price.
-
Just sent payment for 1 non perforated. Thanks
-
Hi Mr. Behl, I did not get a confirmation from you and it’s been about 6 weeks. Will you be shipping soon?
Prime grafting season right now. Thanks.
-
I tried to contact you too behl about scions. Where did you go? Hope all is well with you.
-
Can someone try to contact Behl? He hasn’t logged in since feb 25. Hope everything is fine.
-
I realized today the 22$ rolls are 30M long, standard size rolls I believe are 60M, so that was probably the reason for the low price.
Just got confirmation that there is no smaller roll of buddybtape. $22 whoever is selling is either selling at loss to clear old inventory or selling fake.
-
hey guys, dont panic. I have a fulltime job and was out on business trip to PA. got back last friday.
Update: Tapes are expected to arrive by March 21 , give or take few days sooner (its consistent with original post where I put expected shipping date in 3rd week of March). also, those who wanted and put orders here and did not pay, now would be the time to pay so it does not delay.

There are 30M rolls I have a few of them and they come in green and yellow boxes with japanese writing from aglis.
But 30$ per roll for 60M is a much better deal. I should have got in on your deal. If theres extra rolls I will buy one behl.

Just a quick question as to the buddy tape versus any old grafting tape or film you can buy on say eBay for a few dollars a roll. Is this buddy tape really super superior to this other easily available commercial tapes? If so in what regards? As a guy wanting to get into grafting seriously in the near future I'd like the low down! $30 bucks a roll is awfully pricey but if it's that great I'm OK with paying for quality.
Thanks!

A little lurking and you'd have your answers. I use both for different times and grafts. Buddy tape is the best.

Without a doubt, a much better easier to use product. Now the cheap stuff works too. Many people around the world cut up nylon bags and get grafts to take. Some sell partial rolls and a few people have been known to give an enthusiast partial roll.
-
2 inch wide parafilm is wider and has been easier for me to wrap scion and work with as well as remove after the graft has pushed. It’s a quality product as well.
I don’t know of any advantages to buddy tape, perhaps it stretches more, I am buying some to try and find out. I have just used it with friends from their rolls before.
-
Thanks for the info!
-
I've got a cheaper tape from Amazon that works well for me, but I've seen videos of guys using buddy tape on YouTube and it is far more flexible. Check out Pete kanaris on YouTube, he just did a few grafting videos with Adam and you'll see what I mean
-

The main advantage is it doesnt dry and crack. Ive had good grafts fail because the parafilm cracked before the union fully fused together. This doesnt happen with buddy tape. But really you should tie the union with a stronger tape over your grafting tape or use clips anyways. So if you are doing that, theres little advantage. The buddy tape is easier to stretch and wrap the scion with without accidentally snapping too. But that is not much of an issue if you are careful with parafil and dont overstretch it. Bottom line, its a better product but you pay for that.
-
I wrap it with paradigm. I clip it with cloths pin.
-
I have watched the Pete Kanaris videos! Very cool seeing how grafting is done. I've tried like 4-5 times without success. In theory I understand how but just didn't work out due to probably a few factors.
-
If you (Behl?) have any buddy tape rolls unclaimed, pls let me know. Missed it I guess; been using some the Japanese writing on box 30m stuff. Love to try the real thing. Getting about 1 out of 4 or 5 to take. No luck on my big Wally tree yet.
Thanks,
-
Too late to order a roll? Thanks

anyhow, tapes arrived at the Post Office today, will be shipping all tape orders on Monday/Tuesday.

-
Everyone who ordered and paid, I sent confirming email. If you didnt get email, then I didnt see anything in Paypal for you. Please contact me if you paid and did not get email. Check spam as well. I sent email as BCC so your email does not get exposed.
-
All orders have been shipped, you must have gotten email confirmation from Paypal on email you provided within Paypal.
-
I know im late but by chance you have any buddy tapes left? Thanks

Glad I saw this post, I had just started searching for buddy tape last week. I just sent my payment and asked for non-perforated, but if you are out I will take perforated. Thank you.

Chris, did you get clarification on the prices? I was confused myself.

Look at first post on page one. That's where information is clearly stated.
1 tape $25+5 shipping
2 tapes or more $25/tape plus $10 shipping
I don't guarantee delivery as I am not making profit. So if you want guarantee, then pay priority mail.

AWESOME

ALL SOLD OUT, THANK YOU FOR ORDERING, NEW ORDERS FOR 2021 in DEC/JAN
-
Thank you for running GB.
-
Due to overwhelming demand and inquiries I reached out to the supplier I work with and he confirmed availability.
Wondering if folks are looking to buy tapes. Please PM me. Given global supply lines cut, we don't know if we will get it next year so it may be worth stocking it now.
Send me PM on quantity needed so I can see if we can make the order workout
-
please email to infofiles@gmail.com to reserve tape. will order once I have sufficient orders, do not send any payment yet.
-
sent you a PM. thanks.
-
I purchased Buddy Tape elsewhere after you ran out. Does the Buddy tape you purchase have perforations every few inches? The brand I bought did, and I am not particularly fond of that. I'd much prefer it to be one long continuous roll.

He sells both. You just need to let him know which you would like. I bought the continuous one from him in the last order. :-)
