If peach trees are used as rootstocks and plum trees are cut with cuttings, the survival rate will be much higher. You can choose this one, which has many benefits, can increase the yield and improve the low temperature tolerance. Choose a peach tree with good growth status as the rootstock, cut about 6- 10 cm from the ground, and cut a wedge at the incision.
The grafting time is from March to April in spring, when the climate is suitable and the trees are in a vigorous growth period, the grafting survival rate is guaranteed.

Commonly used rootstocks are peaches and Chinese plums. Peach has strong affinity, fast growth, early fruiting, drought tolerance, sweet fruit, but not moisture tolerance, prone to root cancer and gummosis, premature aging and short life. Peach is suitable for wet areas, with high grafting survival rate, long life, high fertilizer addiction and high yield, but the fruit is not as big as peach.
Scions are harvested from high-quality and high-yield mother trees. Annual branches with complete growth and development in the middle and upper part of the crown are selected, and the survival rate is generally high when grafting is collected. Branches pruned in winter can also be stored as scions.
Grafting can be bud grafting or cutting. Bud grafting is carried out in June-August and cutting is carried out in June-February.
