When is Grapefruit Grafting Appropriate?

Grapefruit trees can be cut before or at the beginning of spring shoot germination (about 1-3 weeks before the variety sprouts in the first or middle of March), ventral grafting in May and June or budding in the middle of September to early October.

How do grapefruit trees graft?

1. Rootstock should be cultivated well. Rootstock can be used seedlings, can also be dug back from the mountain dog tooth Chinese plum stake, after one year of maintenance, to survive long prosperous, to the second year bud grafting.

2. Bud grafting time is best from late May to the end of August, because after late May, the lower part of the new buds that occurred in that year has been lignified and peeled well. At this time, it is also the peak season for Chinese plum growth, and the bud grafting survival rate is relatively high.

3. Select buds. Generally, bud grafting of flowers and trees is to select the new buds on the growing branches of the current year, while bud grafting of Chinese plum should select the hidden buds on the growing branches of the first year. The operation method is the same as that of other "D" grafting methods. After grafting survives for 20 days, the hidden buds begin to sprout. When 2-3 leaves grow, remove the binding rope, strengthen maintenance, and be careful to be blown by the wind. Before the first ten days of June, the grafted ones can grow to 50 cm to 65 cm in the current year, some can bloom in winter, most of the grafted ones after the middle of June can germinate in the current year, grow to 15-30 cm, after a few buds survive, they can germinate in the spring of the next year, but they grow very vigorously. As long as they are properly protected, they can grow to about 1 meter in the second year, and they can bloom in large quantities in winter. The grafting of Chimonanthus praecox should use the hidden bud on the growth branch of the first year, which is the key to the survival of bud grafting of Chimonanthus praecox.

4, budding with hidden buds should also pay attention to a problem, when the winter plum blossoms every year, in the pruning plastic, to deliberately leave some vigorous branches to prepare for summer budding materials, without this preparation, it is difficult to find suitable budding hidden buds.

Can grapefruit trees be grafted with orange trees?

1. Grapefruit trees cannot be grafted with citrus varieties. Their affinity is not good. Even if the grafting survives, the later growth will not work. The quality of the hanging fruits will also be affected. In fact, they generally cannot wait for the hanging fruits! Grapefruit can only graft grapefruit or lemon can be!

2. Grafting grapefruit trees can be grafted with citrus, lemon, orange, bitter orange and other trees. Generally in the spring bud after the branch grafting, autumn bud grafting. First of all, sour pomelo should be selected as rootstock, and secondly, high-quality pomelo trees that have been fruited should be used as scions. Grafting method to bud grafting is good, grafting season can be in spring or autumn.
