Cherry grafting time

1. Grafting time

When grafting cherries, you should choose the right time for grafting. Only in this way can you effectively increase the chances of tree survival. Generally speaking, grafting should be done in spring, and around March in early spring is relatively suitable. However, the climate will vary greatly depending on where you live.

Under normal circumstances, grafting can be carried out in Shandong from late March to early April, in Henan mostly in late March, in Hebei it should be carried out in mid- or late April, and in Liaoning the temperature will be lower, so it is best to postpone grafting to early May.

2. Precautions

1. When choosing rootstocks for grafting, be sure to use healthy branches that do not show any signs of disease or insect infestation. If you have it, it is best not to use it as it may cause reinfection.

2. The soil should be kept slightly moist after grafting, and do not water it during the grafting period. You can water it once a week before grafting, but it is best not to water it within 15 days after grafting.
