The grafting method with the highest survival rate

1. The grafting method with the highest survival rate

The grafting methods with the highest survival rate are bud grafting and branch grafting, which are also commonly used in daily life. In addition to bud grafting and branch grafting, other methods can also be used, such as socket grafting, post grafting, and belly grafting.

2. Bud grafting method

1. Bud grafting time: The time for bud grafting should be chosen carefully. It can be selected during the period of slow tree growth, when the grafting tissue becomes full and the cambium cells are still relatively active. Grafting too early or too late is not suitable. If it is grafted too early, the grafted buds will germinate in the same year, and lignification will not be achieved in the same year, and they will be easily frozen. If it is grafted too late, the bark of the rootstock will be difficult to peel off.

2. Choose the right grafting bud: Select the full and plump buds in the middle of the branch as the grafting bud. The bud size should be appropriate. The grafting bud is generally cut into a shield shape or a ring shape.

3. Bud grafting method: Bud grafting is divided into bud grafting, sentinel grafting, tube bud grafting, bud eye grafting and other methods due to different forms. Among them, bud grafting is the most widely used.

3. Methods of grafting

The time for grafting can be chosen in early spring, preferably when the sap just begins to flow and the bark is easy to peel, which is in March or April. In addition to spring, you can also choose to graft in autumn. Cut strong, thick and well-growing branches as cuttings, cultivate the rootstock, and then graft them. Common methods of branch grafting include cleft grafting, cut grafting, and approach grafting. After grafting, the branches are tied tightly and then loosened.
