1. Is the ornamental peach evergreen or deciduous

The ornamental peach is a deciduous tree. It is native to China and is distributed in the northwest, north China, east China, southwest and other regions. It has been introduced and cultivated in many countries around the world. It has good cold resistance and can overwinter safely in a natural environment at minus 25 degrees Celsius.

2. How to graft the ornamental peach

1. The mother tree of the ornamental peach must be robust and free of pests and diseases, and the plant must have excellent flowers and fruit. Select sturdy new shoots of the current year with plump buds as the scions. For summer budding, you can cut bud patches, or bud patches with a little wood, and peel the bark at the stem of the rootstock. Cut the scion from the mother tree, that is, remove the leaves and keep the petioles.

2. Use the tip of a knife to cut upward at 1 cm below the scion bud, with a length of 1.5-2 cm, and the inner side of the bud should carry a little wood; for the bud located in the middle of the grafted bud, the rootstock can be a seedling as thick as a pencil, with the stem 3-5 cm from the ground; choose the vertical part on the north side of the trunk.

3. Make the first cut vertically with a little wood for 2 cm, and cut off 1/2-2/3 of the peeled bark; insert the grafted bud into the rootstock so that the cambium layers are closely connected. In particular, note that no gap should be left at the lower part of the cut on the rootstock, and the fit should be tight.

4. Below the grafted bud, use plastic tape to wrap 2 turns to the left, then 2 turns to the right, and bind evenly upward so as to prevent the bud from drying out in the wind, ensure a firm connection, and expose the grafted bud. Note the budding time: in southern China, early to mid-June to July is best, while in the north, early to mid-July to August is suitable.
