How to propagate four-season pear

1. Grafting

It is suitable to use this rootstock for grafting four-season pear, or use guava as the rootstock. It is usually carried out in winter and spring, and the diameter of the seedlings should be above 0.7 cm. The scion should not be too old, and branches that have just peeled are usually selected. First remove its leaves, wait about 15 days, and then cut it. Insert the cut scion into the rootstock and tie it securely. It will heal in about a month.

2. Circle branches

The four-season pear can also be propagated by the branch circling method. Choose branches with a diameter of about 1.5 cm, and ring-bark them 60 cm away from the top of the branches, with a width of about 3 cm. Applying indolebutyric acid on the ring barking area can promote rooting. Then wrap it up and it will take root in about two months. Separate the rooted plants from the mother plant and plant them in the soil.

3. Cutting

The cuttings of four-season pear are usually carried out in spring. Cut a branch that is 1.5 cm thick and about 15 cm long. Dip the base of the branch in indolebutyric acid and remove some of the leaves, leaving only a few on the top. Then insert the branches into the sandy soil and spray it appropriately to keep it moist. Controlling the temperature at around 28-32℃ can accelerate rooting.
