2. Plum tree propagation methods
1. Rootstock treatment
Cut the plum tree stump prepared for grafting at 6 to 10 cm above the ground to serve as the rootstock for grafting.
2. Scion treatment
Use well-developed, relatively plump 1-year-old, pest- and disease-free semi-lignified branches as scion wood, cut them into small sections of about 7 cm, leave about 5 to 7 buds as the scion, and wrap the collected buds with a wet cloth.
3. Carry out grafting
Use a grafting knife to split the rootstock into a cleft about 3 cm long, and also cut the scion into a wedge-shaped cut surface, leaving only 2 to 3 buds. Then insert the scion into the cleft, and the cambium layers must be aligned. After that, wrap it tightly with a transparent plastic strip, and the grafting is successfully completed.
4. Precautions
Choose rootstocks and scions with strong compatibility. Compatibility refers to the ability of the rootstock and scion to heal after grafting. In general, the closer the kinship, the stronger the compatibility, and the higher the survival rate of grafting.
