Pomegranate grafting is mostly done in spring. Cut the bottom of the branch into a wedge shape, choose a plant of the same family and genus as the rootstock, and cut a 5 cm deep hole in the rootstock. Insert the branch into the cut, align it, and secure it with tape. The growth of new shoots after two weeks indicates successful grafting. If the upper part of the branch dries up, it will need to be re-grafted.

Pomegranate grafting time is mostly in spring. When the temperature rises from March to April, plants begin to enter the peak growth season, and the success rate after grafting is higher. It is also more conducive to germination and growth.

2. Grafting method

1 , Branch selection: Select branches that grow thickly. Keep the upper leaves and shoots and shave the bottom into wedges. It should be noted that the branches cannot be thicker than the rootstock, otherwise nutrients cannot be supplied from the rootstock to the grafted branches.

2. Rootstock treatment: Rootstocks are generally selected from the same family and genus. plant. Behead the rootstock, and then make a slash in the middle of the cut surface to a depth of about 5 cm. And prune here appropriately to ensure there is enough space for the branches to be inserted.

3. Grafting process: Insert the wedge-shaped position at the bottom of the branch into the incision of the rootstock. The cambium layers of the two must be aligned to ensure the transport of nutrients. Then wrap the joints firmly with tape, thus completing the grafting.

4. Post-grafting management: Frequent observation is required after grafting. Are there any new shoots growing? If the growth does not improve after two weeks, but appears dry, it indicates that the grafting failed and a second grafting is required.
