Layering propagation of purple-leaf dwarf cherry

The layering time of purple-leaf dwarf cherry

The time for high branch layering can be between late April and early September, and the best time is early May, because if planted at this time, the layering can take root and be cut for seedbed cultivation before September.

Selection of purple-leaf dwarf cherry layering

Branches are selected from strong mother branches, and the thickness should be between 1 and 2.5 cm.

Treatment of layering of purple-leaf dwarf cherry

After ring peeling the bark at the petiole below the branch, apply 0.03% naphthaleneacetic acid aqueous solution. After treatment, wrap the wound with wet mud. After this step is completed, you can bag the area four to five centimeters below the cut. Remember to fix the bagged branches with ropes after bagging, and pour water above the bag. Water every four or five days to ensure normal rooting of the layering.

Cut off from the mother

About a month after the first watering, new roots will grow at the wound. Two to three months later, the plant can be cut off from the mother plant and planted in a pot or in the field.
