Golden marble grafting time

1. Grafting time

Its grafting is usually carried out in late spring, specifically between April and May. The temperature is more suitable at this time, and the plants have begun to grow and have more juice. After grafting, they can heal and resume growth faster, and the survival rate is also higher.

2. Grafting method

1. Leave only three or five strong branches on the plant to be grafted, cut off the ungrafted branches from the base, and shorten the remaining parts. Then use a knife to split it from the center of the cross section. Be careful not to split it too deep, about two centimeters will be enough.

2. Then cut relatively thick branches from the female plants that are about the age to bear fruit. The specific thickness can be determined based on the grafted rootstock strips, and a rough thickness will be fine. In addition, it should be noted that it is best to have four or five leaf buds, which is more conducive to survival.

3. Cut off the surface layer at the base of the cut branches. The length of the cut surface should be about two centimeters. It should match the depth of the split of the rootstock and slightly expose the wood part. Then insert the sterilized scion into the cleft, pay attention to aligning it with the cambium, and tie it with special tape.

4. After bundling, you need to moisturize it first, cover it with a plastic bag, and make sure to cover the entire grafted part. Pay attention to management and care in the later stage, and it will basically be successful.
