There are many rootstocks for Sweet osmanthus grafting. Many Oleaceae trees can be used as rootstocks, such as privet, wax, tassel and holly. Selecting Ligustrum lucidum or Ilex microphylla as rootstock is beneficial to its rapid growth, but the grafting position should not be too high. The root system of wax is more developed, and it can provide good drought resistance as rootstock. In the north, tassel is often used for grafting, because it can increase cold resistance and help winter.

I. privet

Both Ligustrum lucidum and Sweet osmanthus belong to Oleaceae. They have good affinity and can accelerate the growth of Sweet osmanthus after grafting. In order to avoid the fracture of grafting place, it is generally necessary to find a lower position. The interface should also be longer to make the two fit more firmly. After grafting survival, do not be eager to untie, to wait until the second year germination.

Water wax

Water wax and osmanthus are also plants of Oleaceae. Its root system is more developed, and its water and nutrient supply are sufficient. Not only the survival rate of grafting is high, but also it can provide good drought resistance. However, due to the difference in the thickness of their branches, the overall shape may not be very beautiful

3. Fringe

Compared with the above two, tassel tree is better in cold tolerance, so it is very suitable for Northern grafting stock. It can grow in saline alkali land, and the demand for planting is relatively low. At the same time, it can also provide enough nutrients to make osmanthus bloom more luxuriantly. Pay attention to fertilization during the growth period, so as to avoid coarseness.

Ilex microphylla

4. Ilex angustifolia

Ilex microphylla is not Ilex, but Ligustrum of luteaceae, which is close to osmanthus. Grafting position to choose a lower, so as not to cause up thick down fine.
