Disadvantages of grafting Osmanthus fragrans with Ligustrum lucidum

The disadvantage of grafting osmanthus fragrans and Ligustrum lucidum is that the grafting site is not firm and it is easy to break from the grafting interface. The improvement method is as follows:

1, the contact point should be low, which can increase the strength relatively;

2. If the interface is long and the rootstock heals well, more attention should be paid to this point in high grafting and docking;

3. The potted plants should be planted deeper, which can induce the osmanthus heap to take root and increase the attachment ability;

4. For the seedlings that survive after grafting, it is best to take off the bandage before entering the house or after germination the following year, and then loosen it to consolidate the survival rate.

Grafting method of osmanthus trees

First, choose a position at the lower part of the rootstock (the grafting point must be lowered, and you can choose a place close to the root of the rootstock), and then cut a long slot (U-shaped slot, about 3-5 cm in size) with a knife, which is deep to the xylem, and the burrs in the slot should be smoothed (to facilitate the better joint between the scion and the rootstock).

Then cut the lower end of the prepared scion into the radian that can completely fit the groove on the rootstock with a knife, then insert the lower end of the scion into the matching seam on the rootstock to make it completely fit, and finally tie the matching seam tightly and wrap it firmly with a plastic film (to prevent the loosening of the matching seam and the invasion of rain, pests and diseases).
