Grafting method of osmanthus fragrans

Selection of grafting rootstocks The grafting rootstocks are mostly Ligustrum lucidum, Ligustrum lucidum, small wax, water wax, white wax, tassel and so on.

Selection of grafting rootstocks The grafting rootstocks are mostly Ligustrum lucidum, Ligustrum lucidum, small wax, water wax, white wax, tassel and so on. Ligustrum lucidum leaves are commonly used in the north when grafting in large quantities. The grafting method is 1. The rootstock is dug with a U-shaped knife, which is about 2.5 cm long, the same width as the scion and half the diameter of the scion.

2. The scion has two buds, two leaves and a half, and the lower end of the scion is cut at an oblique angle of 45 degrees, showing an arc shape. Peel off half the diameter of the scion, as shown in the above picture.

3. Insert the scion into the groove of the rootstock. At this time, the cambium on both sides of the scion and the cambium on both sides of the rootstock are just aligned. The size of the U-shaped groove and the scion should be just right as far as possible, so that the scion can be closely embedded together, reducing the gap between the scion and the rootstock and improving the survival rate.

4. Large rootstocks can be grafted with multiple scions at the same time to make bonsai. Personally, I suggest grafting only two scions, and the grafting direction should be determined according to the needs of stump modeling.

5, the scion must choose branches with thick buds, which is conducive to survival.

6. As can be seen from the above figure, both scions can be well embedded in the rootstock and will not fall off. It means that they are well combined.

7, with insulating tape winding fixed. I use this because it has several advantages: 1 callus grows easily in dark environment; 2. It is easy to operate when bandaging, and there is no need for separate bandaging and fixation.

8. Wrap the cross section as shown in the figure.

9. Put the grafted scion on a transparent plastic bag to keep moisture and heat.

10, this has been unbound for a week, and the time from grafting to unbinding is about two months.

1 1. The callus on the cross section seems to have no movement, but the scion has survived.

12. From the above picture, this grafting method has a good connection effect, without knotting, and the scion embedded in the rootstock is almost flat, which has achieved our expected effect.

13, to see the overall effect after grafting survival. Each new shoot was topped and bud controlled to promote the growth of its lateral branches.
