In spring, plum can be grafted before germination. When grafting, it can be cut and hypodermic, or bud and split
In summer, if plum is grafted, it can be grafted after the first branch of the plant matures and before the second branch sprouts. When grafting, scions can be used, which can be split with leaves. Split grafting is more suitable for multiple varieties of grafting, but pay attention to the need to cover plastic bags when grafting, for moisture shading.
When plum is grafted in autumn, the method of abdominal grafting can be adopted. The best way is to adopt the method of long piece and small bud closed grafting. This method is relatively simple and the survival rate is relatively high. If the grafted plum does not germinate at this time, a small hole can be opened in the bud eye of the tree in the next spring to let the bud germinate. In this way, grafting can survive.
When plum is grafted in winter, it is best to use root grafting.
In winter, when plum is dormant, the roots of peach or apricot plants with strong growth can be taken out, fibrous roots can be preserved, and then the roots can be cut into small segments. If the root is thick, it can be cut or hypodermic. If the root is thin, it can be skin grafted. After grafting, it can be planted in the windward and sunny place, and the binding place is covered with soil and watered. Pay attention to extensive management in winter.
