Grafting time and method of Waxberry

Grafting is a common planting technique in our life, many fruit trees to improve the survival rate of fruit trees and achieve high yield. Red bayberry is a specialty fruit in southern China, the survival rate was low in the past, and then the grafting method was used to greatly improve the survival rate of young trees. So how should bayberry be grafted? What is the specific method of operation? The following pro-agricultural network brings you the time and method of grafting of red bayberry. Let's learn about it.

1. Grafting time

The grafting time is suitable in the period when the temperature is mild, the temperature is not low and the temperature is not high, generally in February-March, and can not exceed Ching Ming Festival at the latest, otherwise the air humidity is high, which will cause excessive bleeding and grafting failure. And this is the bayberry as well as the beginning of sprouting, the bark and woody tissue are also formed and become brittle, and the higher temperatures in the south can be carried out appropriately in January-February.

2. Grafting method

Select the planting with strong growth and disease-free, cut the scion slightly, cut off the leaves, put them in a cool and humid place, cut off the bark from the wound of the scion, and then cut the bottom into a wedge. Place the rootstock 8-10cm above the ground, choose a smooth and straight part, cut off the rootstock, cut the wound flat, and cut vertically in the middle of the wound, the depth is equal to the wedge of the scion. Then insert the scion into the interface of the rootstock, be careful not to insert it all, keep the length of 0.5-1cm, and connect the interface closely. Then tie the interface with plastic film to tighten and moisturize.

3. Management after grafting

Within one month after grafting, the rootstock should sprout in time, which is beneficial to the survival of the scion. If the wound is too large or in overcast and rainy days after grafting, the wrapped film should be punctured and released. After successful grafting, new buds should be sprouted, the film should be removed and the heart should be removed in time, leaving 2-3 strong ones, and then picking the heart repeatedly when it grows to a certain length, which can speed up the formation of the crown. In summer and winter, the trunks of young trees are painted white to prevent burns and frostbite.
