Splicing usually takes place in March. Choose one-year-old cherry blossom branches as scions and cut small segments of about 8 cm, each with 3 full buds. Two symmetrical slopes of different sizes are cut at the lower end of the scion with a grafting knife. The length of one side of the slope is 2 cm, and the xylem of 1 prime 3 is removed. The other side of the slope is about 1 cm long, slightly cut off a little xylem to form a wedge shape, and the cutting surface should be smooth, which is beneficial to survival. Cut the selected rootstock at a height of 10 cm above the ground, then choose the position that coincides with the diameter of the scion on the north side of the cross section of the rootstock, and cut a gap between the xylem and the cortex with a little xylem from top to bottom, about 3 cm deep, and then cut the long side of the scion against the inside. Insert into the rootstock incision and align the cambium (at least one side of the cambium). Then tie the joint tightly with plastic tape and protect it with wet soil. The protective layer was removed after the scion survived.
