The grafting of fruit trees is a convenient way to grow a valuable variety cuttings on an already available rootstock and save space on a small plot. Let's figure out how to deal with this difficult matter.
Timing of inoculation of fruit trees
The optimal time for this is the second half of spring, when a stable temperature was established at night without lowering below zero. In April-May, when colds are replaced by heat, trees leave the state of rest. The sap movement will begin in the rootstock, which is a prerequisite for successful vaccination.
Inoculation of fruit trees is the best way
When grafting, they first prepare the rootstock. It cuts or cuts the skeletal branches. Prepared cuttings (they are called a graft) can be planted in several ways.
One of the most popular - for the bark with a cut bark. On the stem of the graft, you can simultaneously plant several cuttings. Cortex sideways neatly cut. Then the end of the graft, cut obliquely, is inserted. The vaccine should be fixed and smeared with garden wine .
Inoculation into the cleft also allows several cuttings to be used on one trunk. The trunk is split in the middle in diameter to create a narrow slit. In it, then insert the graft with the end cut obliquely. The cuttings are fixed with strips of tissue and are treated with a garden crock.
Often used and inoculation for the bark with a spike. T-shaped cutting of a part of the cortex on the stem of the rootstock is the main condition for the proper inoculation of fruit trees in this way. The cut is made with an oblique cut at the end, which is then inserted into the spike of the stock. Privoj densely fasten a bandage.
If the stem and the stem have the same thickness, it makes sense to use copulation. Both oblique and prewar are made with oblique cuts up to 3-4 cm long. Then these parts are joined in sections and tightly fixed with a bandage.
