When is a good time to graft apricot trees?

The grafting period varies according to the method. Grafting is usually carried out in early spring, and most parts of the north are carried out in April. Premature grafting is limited to cutting and splitting. In fact, the best time for grafting is after the juice begins to flow, especially around the apricot blossom period.

Bud grafting is generally only carried out in summer and autumn (bud grafting with xylem can also be carried out in spring), and the grafting period is generally from mid-late July to early September. The grafting time should depend on the number of seedlings and the peeling degree of scions and rootstocks. The general principle is that early skin grafting is better than late skin grafting, and early skin grafting is easy and early survival. In addition, the surviving plants can be replanted. Bud grafting is often affected by rain after grafting.
