3. High branch pressing: select strong and disease-free twigs before entering, cut the cracks in the lower part of the bifurcation, cover them with bamboo tubes or bottomless tile pots, fill them with culture soil, tie them with string on the outside, keep them moist, and grow new roots around May of the following year.
