Osmanthus grafting method

The main purpose of grafting osmanthus is to solve the problem of osmanthus's inability to tolerate cold. After grafting, the cold resistance of osmanthus will be enhanced, and the fragrance of the osmanthus produced by grafting will also be more fragrant.

Osmanthus grafting time

Generally speaking, the best time for osmanthus grafting is from March to June every year, because everything comes back to life in spring, and the grafted osmanthus can grow rapidly, and the climate at this time is warm and humid, which is very conducive to the healing of the grafting site.

Osmanthus grafting technology

The grafting methods of osmanthus trees usually include cut grafting and scarf grafting. According to long-term work practice, these two grafting methods are very suitable for the growth of osmanthus trees after grafting.

1. Cutting method

After early spring, choose stronger new branches and rootstocks for grafting, cut the new branches into small sections of about 4 cm to become the scion part, remove excess leaves, but be sure to keep 1-2 new buds, cut a slit six centimeters from the ground, insert the small section of osmanthus branches, wrap them with plastic bags, fix the position, and wait for about a month.

2. Embedding method

Grafting can be done in summer and autumn, using semi-woody osmanthus branches and rootstocks for grafting. The cut surface is cut into an oblique plane, and then a cut is made on the rootstock. The osmanthus branches are placed in and fixed with a thin rope.
