The best grafting time is about July, when the survival rate is the highest. The rootstock is closely related, such as Nanking cherry, peach, apricot, plum, plum, etc., leaving a stump 6-10cm from the ground. The annual branches with good growth condition should be selected for scion, which should be controlled at about 7cm. Generally, it uses t shape for budding, and after inserting, it is wrapped with plastic bags.

In addition to winter, the other three seasons can be grafted, preferably around July. If the time is too early, the body's nutrition accumulation is less, the survival rate is relatively low, if the time is too late, it is more difficult to heal after grafting.

2. Scion: the scion needs to select the annual branches in good growth state, which are relatively full and full of development, with a small amount of xylem, and the length is controlled at about 7cm, with 5-7 bud points on it, and wrapped in wet cloth before grafting.

3. Grafting: when grafting, the rootstock should be treated first, usually with a "t" shape for budding. Select the place where the rootstock is 3-5cm away from the ground, cut out a T-shaped opening, control the depth well, and ensure that the outer bark can be peeled off. Cut a cut at the scion, then peel off the rootstock bark with a knife, quickly insert the scion, and wrap the plastic bag outside after the scion is firm.
