How to graft wintersweet (picture), what rootstock to use?

1. Grafting method

1. Grafting: Grafting should be carried out in spring, at the latest when the new buds sprout to the size of rice grains. Choose branches that are growing healthily, cut off the tops and cut them into bevels. Cut off the bud end of the scion and cut off the excess part. Then overlap the inclined surface of the branch and the excess part of the bud end, tie it up with a plastic bag, and then apply mud on the joint. Small buds will grow in about a month.

2. Belly grafting: The simplest method is belly grafting. Choose a branch with many leaf buds and make a cut in the thick part. It doesn't need to be too deep, about one-third of the branch will be enough. Then cut the top bud of the scion into an oblique surface, overlap it with the cut of the branch, and tie it with a rope. The wound will heal in about 20 to 25 days.

2. Rootstocks used

When grafting, it is usually the seedlings of Dog Camellia or Winter Camellia that are chosen. Dog-wax plum is its original variety, with very small petals, light color and not strong flavor. Seedlings have strong resistance to adversity and are also suitable as rootstocks. In addition, the selection of scion is also very important. It is necessary to select scion with strong growth to facilitate successful grafting.
