In order to graft citrus at a high level, we should start with the pruning of rootstocks, the selection of scions and grafting methods. High grafting is to increase fruit yield. It is necessary to cut off the vertical branches of the rootstock 1.5 meters or more, cut off healthy scions, cut out incisions, insert the rootstock, and wrap it tightly with plastic film.

Citrus grafting 1, pruning rootstock

Before grafting citrus, the rootstock should be pruned. Generally, all upright branches should be cut off at the position above 1.5 m, and some oblique branches and lateral branches should be reserved for grafting. All drooping branches below 1.5 m should be reserved.

2, scion selection

The selection of citrus scion is not very troublesome, because the most important compatibility problem in the grafting process is generally not considered in citrus plants, and the characteristics of citrus plants are relatively common, so healthy and full autumn buds of citrus plants can be directly selected to make scions.

3. Grafting technology

It is most suitable to choose February-March, especially before and after the rainy and solar terms in early spring, when the sap begins to flow, and it is most suitable in sunny days with the temperature above 10 degrees Celsius. Select branches in different directions, cut an incision near the bottom of the scion, insert the scion into it, and then wrap it tightly with plastic film.

4. The meaning of grafting

Grafting is the process of removing the upright branches and grafting other varieties into the part of the adult orchard where the fruit trees exceed 1.5 meters and need to be updated. This method can make the grafted rootstock begin to bear fruit soon after 1-3 years, and the probability of high yield is very high.
