1. Grafting time
There is no limit to the grafting time, as long as the temperature is around 10-30 degrees, but it is best to choose between Qingming Festival and Dragon Boat Festival. The climate is very suitable, which is very conducive to survive.
2. Rootstock Selection
The branches need to be straight and well-proportioned, relatively thick and without scars, then cut them with a quick knife and put them in a cool place to dry so that the wounds can dry naturally, and then insert them into a suitable matrix so that they can take root. Don't be in a hurry to graft. You can maintain it for a period of time and wait for it to grow stably before cutting. If side buds appear during this process, they need to be cut off in time.
3. Select the scion
The scion should be green in color, free from diseases and insect pests, in good growth condition, and preferably strong. Only 2-4 nodes should be left on it, and it does not need to be too long.
