Grafting time and method of fruit trees

Most fruit trees can be grafted with the same kind of fruit trees, and the grafting is to combine the advantages of the two kinds of fruit trees. Better genetic traits are obtained, which makes the results better and improves the quality. And improve resistance, adaptability or disease resistance, general fruit tree grafting at what time, what methods are used, the effect is also better. This is the main thing to be introduced.

1. Grafting time

Fruit tree grafting must be carried out in the case of slow sap flow, so it can be carried out in early spring, autumn, in fact, summer can also, but, high temperature and rainy, the survival rate is too low, is not conducive to summer growth. Most of the general kernel fruit trees are carried out in spring, while pomegranate can be carried out in summer and autumn. Grafting of drupe trees is difficult, so it must be carried out in spring. Pulpy fruit trees, such as grapes and figs, must be grafted in early spring before the sap flows.

2. Grafting method

1. Plug-in method

Insert fruit trees, cut ears, cut 10 cm long, cut off, there is no time for grafting, grafting time is not up, may have to be preserved in wet sand. When grafting, disinfect the scion. At the place of grafting, at the top of the bud, cut it down, then remove the bud from the scion and take it off with a knife from the top. Insert it directly into the branch of the rootstock. Tie it up with plastic strips.

two。 Split-joint method

Cut the rootstock seedlings about 30cm off the ground, then cut the scion with full buds, then cut the lower end of the rootstock to produce a cutting surface, then cut the rootstock from near the cortex, put it into the scion, aim at the cambium, and then tie it up. After survival, the buds of the scion are still full.

3. Embedding method

Also known as cross bud grafting, cut horizontally and vertically on the tree trunk, then cut off the scion directly, slowly put it into the bark, and then use it to expose only the buds. In other places, it should be tightly tied and airtight. After that, the original buds of the branches should be removed in time to check for survival. After survival, the buds will grow very well, and if not, the buds will wither.

4. Points for attention

Some special fruit trees will have special grafting requirements and time, which cannot all be carried out in accordance with this. In addition, different fruit trees can choose the most suitable grafting method. Different grafting methods are used in different seasons. After grafting, shading, moisturizing management, maintenance, in order to improve the survival rate.

Fruit tree grafting, generally common fruit trees can be grafted, the best grafting time is in spring. There are still many grafting methods, sometimes as long as they survive, regardless of the way. But after accumulating experience, you will know which kind of grafting is the best.
