The mode of reproduction of apple trees

The reproduction mode of a fruit tree is diversified, and it is difficult to make it develop for a long time by relying on a single model, and the same is true of apple trees. In recent years, in order to produce some relatively good fruits, there are many ways of reproduction. Let's learn about the common ways of reproduction of apple trees with Xiaobian.

1. Seed propagation

The use of seed reproduction is a long-standing planting method in China. Generally, apple seeds are cultivated in batches after treatment, and then transplanted after seedling development. The reason for this is that the seedling rate is high, and because the cultivation environment is similar, the later management is more convenient, the variety difference is not big, and the fruit and quality are relatively good, which is a more common way at present. The disadvantage is that it takes a long time to cultivate, it takes a lot of energy, and it is very important for seed selection, otherwise it will easily lead to losses.

2. Grafting propagation

Grafting is a solution that people have come up with in recent years for the "multiple fruits of one tree" of apple trees, that is, a variety of apples can be produced on one kind of fruit tree. First of all, the trees to be transplanted must be very strong, and the planting age should be more than 2 years, and then the selected high-quality buds should be grafted onto the new trees. This advantage is that the use value of apple trees can continue to expand, produce better quality fruit, and obtain higher profits. The disadvantage is that the management of grafting can easily lead to death, and secondly, the skill can only guarantee a constant, which is likely to be assimilated in the later stage, resulting in the need for re-transplantation. This method is suitable for growers who take the boutique route and do not pursue and produce.

3. Cuttage propagation

Cutting is the traditional memory of our country. Many fruit trees in our country can propagate by cutting, and apple trees are no exception. This selection of pruning objects is very important, poor development can easily lead to the death of branches. When cutting, you need to have 5-6 sprouts above, cut off from the node, can not stay in the air for too long, and should be sent to the cutting point immediately. The advantage lies in the independent selection of high-quality seedlings, for some high-quality results, the right number of seedlings. The disadvantage is that the survival rate is low, and some planting techniques are needed, otherwise it is easy to have problems because of inadequate management, which is suitable for those who intend to expand the planting area.

These are several ways for apple trees to reproduce. At present, apple trees are still very popular in China, and apples are also a kind of fruit that people eat more every day. You can refer to these breeding methods, and more information can be found on our website.
