How to graft the lucky tree

Grafting the lucky tree can not only maintain the excellent characteristics of the variety, but also increase the yield, promote flowering and fruiting, improve the tree's resistance to adversity, and perform high-grafting on some obsolete varieties.

Lucky tree grafting time

The best time to graft the lucky tree is in spring, from March to April. The temperature at this time is about 15-20 degrees, which is suitable for the growth and development of the lucky tree. It is also the most suitable time to graft the lucky tree because it can guarantee the survival rate of the grafting.

Grafting technology of lucky tree

1. Bud grafting

Bud grafting is to insert the buds on the branches of the lucky tree into the cut of the rootstock and seal it with plastic film. Bud grafting should be done when the growth is slow, because the cambium cells are more active at this time and the grafted bud tissue is fuller. If the grafting is done too early, the grafted buds cannot be lignified in winter and are easily frozen. If the grafting is done too late, the rootstock bark is not easy to peel off.

2. Plug

Grafting is a common method of plant grafting. In my country, cucumbers and watermelons are the most common melon vegetables cultivated by grafting. The earliest grafting methods are cleft grafting, approach grafting and grafting. The methods of grafting are constantly improving and increasing, which means that the grafting technology is becoming more and more mature.
