The grafting of osmanthus fragrans is mainly to solve the problem that osmanthus fragrans is not cold-resistant. After grafting, the cold resistance of osmanthus fragrans will be enhanced, and the grafted osmanthus fragrans will be more fragrant.
Grafting time of osmanthus fragrans
Generally speaking, March-June is the best time to graft osmanthus fragrans, because everything recovers in spring and the grafted osmanthus fragrans can grow rapidly. At this time, the climate is warm and humid, which is very conducive to the healing of marriage interface.
Grafting technique of osmanthus fragrans
Grafting methods of osmanthus trees usually include cutting and embedding. According to long-term work practice, these two grafting methods are very suitable for the growth of osmanthus trees after grafting.
1, cutting method
After the early spring, select strong new branches and rootstocks for grafting, cut the new branches into small pieces of about 4 cm to become scions, remove the redundant leaves, but keep 1-2 new buds, dig a hole 6 cm above the ground, insert small branches of osmanthus fragrans, wrap them in plastic bags and wait for about one month.
2. Embedding method
Embedding can be carried out in summer and autumn. Semi-wood osmanthus branches are grafted on the rootstock, the cut surface is cut into an inclined plane, then a hole is made in the rootstock, the osmanthus branches are put in and fixed with a string.
