Matters needing attention

Selecting rootstocks and scions with strong affinity

Affinity refers to the ability of rootstock and scion to heal after grafting. Generally speaking, the closer the kinship, the stronger the affinity and the higher the grafting survival rate.

Second, select rootstocks and scions with strong vitality.

Viability is related to the nutrients accumulated in the vegetative organs of rootstocks and scions. The more nutrients accumulated by vegetative organs, the stronger their viability. Therefore, before grafting, the water and fertilizer management of rootstocks should be strengthened to accumulate more nutrients, and scions should choose mature branches with full bud eyes.

Third, choose the best grafting opportunity.

Grafting of branches should generally be carried out in early spring before germination of fruit trees, because rootstocks and scions are rich in tissue at this time, and temperature and humidity are also conducive to the vigorous division of cambium and accelerate wound healing. Bud grafting should be carried out in the slow growth period, and it is best to graft and survive and sprout into seedlings in the next spring.
