Grafting can be done by branch grafting. Cut the stem of the rootstock 5cm above the ground, make a side cut on one side of the section, cut the bottom of the branch into a wedge shape and insert it into the mouth of the rootstock to wrap it up. You can also use the bud grafting method, cut the rootstock cortex into a "T" shape and uncover it, cut across the bud point and cut it from the cutting, and finally insert it into the rootstock notch. In addition, propagation can also be carried out by cuttings.

1. Grafting method

1. Branch grafting: Select a relatively strong rootstock, cut it 5cm above the ground, and make side cuts on any side. Use the cut branches of Meirenmei, cut the bottom of the branches into a wedge shape, insert it into the mouth of the rootstock and align it, and finally tie it with plastic film.

2. Bud grafting: needs to be carried out during the growing season, with a knife Trim the bark of the rootstock into a "T" shape and uncover it on both sides. The scion should be made from healthy middle buds, cut transversely 1-2mm above the bud point, and cut the bud point lengthwise from the cutting. Finally, insert the shield-shaped bud piece into the cut of the rootstock, align the two and wrap them with film.

2. Propagation methods

1 . Cutting method: The most suitable time for cutting is around October. Choose branches that grow well and are free from diseases and insect pests. Such branches are easier to take root. Prepare a clean substrate, use chopsticks to poke a hole in the soil, insert it and wait for roots to take root.

2. Layering method: start from the crown or peripheral branches in good growth condition, then bend it and bury it in the soil. Be careful to avoid being blown by the cold wind, and finally wait for it to take root. Just divide it.
