Can persimmons be grafted onto begonia trees?

Begonia is a kind of flower, which is mainly cultivated as a flower. The four common kinds of begonia are Xifu begonia, Malus pendula, Malus papaya and Malus longipedunculata, but my favorite is Malus pendula. After flowering, Malus pendula will bear small fruit in autumn. Although it is only the size of peanuts, it is exactly the same shape as an apple. Therefore, Malus pendula can usually be grafted with apples, that is, grafted apples can be planted as rootstocks. Apple belongs to Rosaceae.

Although begonia is also a tree of Rosaceae, it is different from rose, rose and rose, and grafting is not allowed. Some flower friends think that begonia is also a tree-shaped rose and grafting is not allowed. Generally, grafting is required to belong to the same family in order to survive, so peach trees, plum trees and pear trees belonging to Rosaceae are not allowed to graft.

The common rootstock of persimmon is called Junqianzi. In the north, Junqianzi is also called soft jujube and black jujube, so friends who don't know much think that jujube trees can graft persimmon trees. In fact, this is a misunderstanding, because Junqianzi is a wild persimmon tree. Although its fruit is very small, only the size of jujube, it looks exactly like a persimmon, which is a mini version of persimmon. In fact, many wild fruit trees in nature are like this. For example, grapes grow after sowing.

Generally, persimmon grafting is better in spring. When the temperature rises, persimmon trees can be grafted before they germinate. The most commonly used grafting method is cutting, but persimmon grafting is prone to bleeding. The blood contains tannin, which is a toxic substance. Therefore, grafting must be done before germination, so it is not easy to bleed. The second grafting should be fast, otherwise the grafting interface will turn black when it is oxidized, which will affect the survival rate.
