1 , Rootstock: The rootstock should be chosen with relatively close affinity. You can choose plum, cherry, peach, apricot, plum, etc. as rootstock, leaving only the stump 6-10 cm from the ground.

2. Scion: The scion needs to be an annual with good growth status. The branches should be relatively full and full, free from diseases and insect pests, with a small amount of xylem, and the length should be controlled at about 7 cm. There should be 5-7 buds on them. They should be wrapped in wet cloth before grafting.

3. Grafting: When grafting, the rootstock must be processed first. Generally, a "T" shape is used for bud grafting. Choose a place where the rootstock is 3-5 cm away from the ground and cut out a T" shape. The depth of the opening should be controlled to ensure that the outer bark can be peeled off. Cut the incision at the scion, then use a knife to peel off the bark of the rootstock, insert the scion quickly, and wrap it with a plastic bag after it is firmly inserted.
