How to graft green calyx

Choosing the right rootstock for grafting

When preparing for grafting of green calyx, the first thing you need to do is to choose a suitable rootstock. Generally speaking, plum and peach can be chosen in southern my country, while apricot, wild apricot or wild peach are mostly chosen in the north, which are all excellent green-calyx rootstocks. Since the green-calyx plum itself is a type of plum with strong cold resistance, the grafting success rate is high even in the north. Plum has good rootstock properties. It would be most appropriate to select old plum tree baskets for grafting to form ancient plum stump landscape.

Choose the right season and graft in the right way

There are many ways to graft green calyx, including cut grafting, belly grafting, tongue grafting, cleft grafting and approach grafting. Cut grafting is the main method, and it can usually be done in spring after the rootstock sprouts. In addition, belly grafting can also be performed in autumn; in spring and autumn, old stumps of plum trees and young plum trees can be used for grafting; shield bud grafting can be performed from June to September; and tongue grafting can be performed in winter when it is not extremely cold. In short, you can choose the appropriate method to graft green calyx at different times throughout the year.

In summary, when grafting green calyx, the first thing to do is to determine the appropriate rootstock, which is the basis for successful grafting. In addition, choosing the season when the green calyx is suitable for growth and selecting the appropriate grafting method can also allow the green calyx to maintain a good growth trend after grafting, facilitating survival. The above are the things you need to pay attention to when grafting green calyx. I hope that plum lovers can remember the key points and let the green calyx stand proudly on the branches and bloom beautifully~
