For its grafting, small-leaf Ligustrum lucidum, large-leaf Ligustrum lucidum, fringe tree and water wax tree can be used as rootstocks. The survival rates of these species are relatively high, especially small-leaf Ligustrum lucidum. However, it is better to graft fringe trees in the north. After surviving, it can improve cold resistance and alkali resistance, which is more conducive to later growth. In addition, the seedlings have good affinity and are also very suitable for grafting. In northern areas, we should also pay attention to the time of grafting, not too early, and wait until the temperature rises and stabilizes before proceeding.

1. What can be used for grafting?

It can be grafted with small-leaf ligustrum, large-leaf ligustrum, fringe tree and water wax tree. The survival rate of these rootstocks is relatively high, especially Ligustrum lobata. However, grafting with fringe trees will improve cold resistance and alkali resistance, making it more suitable for planting in northern areas. In addition, its seedlings are also very good for grafting and have the best affinity.

2. Grafting time

It It is recommended to carry out grafting in spring. In northern areas, it should not be done too early. It should be carried out after the temperature rises and stabilizes. Specifically, it should be between April and May, when the climate and environment are more suitable, management is easier, and the possibility of survival is increased.

1 2. Handle the scion: Choose a strong lignified branch as the scion. Just leave one or two leaves on it, cut off the rest, and make sure there are one or two new buds. The bottom should be cut diagonally and both sides should be cut into wedges.

2. Grafting rootstock: After selecting the rootstock, cut an incision on the top part, the length should be similar to the wedge shape of the scion. Then insert the scion, making sure it is aligned with the rootstock. Leave a little of the cut surface outside, and finally wrap it tightly with plastic wrap.

3. Later management: use plastic bags after grafting is completed Cover it to keep it warm and moisturized. It is best to open a few holes on it for ventilation. Generally, it will survive after a week and the plastic bag can be taken out. In the later stage, the side buds growing on the rootstock should be removed in time to avoid competition for nutrients.
