Growing Techniques Jan 1, 1970 0 views

The fringetree is a small tree or deciduous shrub, and its flowering period is from April to June each year. The fringetree is not strict about soil requirements and can grow well in neutral, slightly acidic, or slightly alkaline soil, so its adaptability is very strong. Osmanthus, however, has certain requirements for its environment, so using fringetree to graft osmanthus has very strong compatibility, grows well, and is also relatively easy to shape, without the problem of being top-heavy. In addition, the fringetree grows relatively fast and is easy to shape, and it can bloom two to three years after grafting, so whether in the south or the north in winter, the fringetree can overwinter smoothly, so using fringetree to graft osmanthus trees is a relatively good method.

Now that we know the benefits of grafting osmanthus onto fringetree, how should it be cultivated after grafting so that it can be grown better? Let us learn how fringetree-grafted osmanthus should be cultivated after grafting.

      When it comes to osmanthus, many people are no strangers to it. The main propagation method of osmanthus relies on grafting, so choosing a good grafting rootstock is very important. Do you know about grafting osmanthus onto fringetree? Today the editor will briefly introduce the price and appreciation of fringetree-grafted osmanthus.

      Osmanthus trees can bloom with fragrance filling the tree in autumn, and osmanthus cultivation is now increasingly loved by people. A large portion of osmanthus saplings are grown by grafting, and many choose fringetree to graft osmanthus to propagate osmanthus. The price of fringetree-grafted osmanthus is not especially expensive; small saplings cost 8~9 yuan, and larger saplings only cost around ten-plus yuan.

      There are many methods of grafting osmanthus, among which approach grafting is a commonly used one, and in China potted osmanthus mostly uses approach grafting. Its advantages are: a long suitable grafting time, easy survival, fast shaping, and early flowering. The key points of osmanthus approach grafting technology are introduced as follows:
      1. Cultivating rootstock. The rootstock tree species used for grafting osmanthus include privet, fringetree (fringetree-grafted osmanthus), and others. The rootstock used for grafting needs to grow robustly and be free of pests and diseases, with a thickness of more than 1 cm, using 2~3-year-old saplings or 2~3-year-old branches on perennial trees.

      2. Selecting scions. Osmanthus has varieties such as golden osmanthus, silver osmanthus, red osmanthus, and four-season osmanthus. First, choose the osmanthus variety according to preferences, needs, and resource conditions, then from the selected osmanthus tree choose 2~3-year-old branches that grow robustly, are well developed, free of pests and diseases, and of moderate size as scions.

      1. Fringetree-grafted osmanthus is a common method of grafting osmanthus. Now the editor will take everyone to briefly understand bringing the scion close to the rootstock, which can use methods such as propping, padding, framing, hanging, and tying to place the selected osmanthus branch as the scion close to the rootstock branch in the same direction. Then specifically determine the suitable grafting position of the rootstock and scion, and fix the position well.
      2. Cutting the interface slope. Cut interface slopes at the determined grafting positions of the rootstock and scion respectively. The slope is oval-shaped, with a length of 3~5 cm, and the depth of the slope generally does not exceed half the thickness of the branch.

      3. Cutting the rootstock. After the grafting and tying are completed, cut off the rootstock branch 1 cm above the interface.
      4. Removing sprouts. After grafting, if branches sprout from the part below the rootstock interface, they should be removed in time. 31~35 days after grafting, cut off the scion from below the interface to let it separate from the mother plant.
      5. Checking survival. 3~5 days after cutting off the scion, if the scion's branches and leaves grow normally, it has survived; if the leaves appear wilted, then supplementary grafting should be carried out.

      Having finished talking about fringetree-grafted osmanthus, let us talk about osmanthus in gardens. Osmanthus blooms in autumn, with fragrance spreading all around, which can be called "dominating the three autumns and overpowering all flowers." It is widely used in gardens, often as a landscape tree, with solitary planting, opposite planting, and also clustered or grove planting. In Chinese classical gardens, osmanthus is often paired with buildings, mountains, and rocks, with clustered shrub-type plants planted near pavilions, terraces, towers, and chambers. Old-style courtyards often use opposite planting, anciently called "two osmanthus trees in the courtyard" or "two osmanthus trees leaving fragrance."

      Osmanthus is evergreen all year round, with luxuriant branches and leaves. Osmanthus has a striking fragrance and contains a variety of aromatic substances, and can be used for food or to extract fragrance. Today the editor's introduction to the price of fringetree-grafted osmanthus ends here. Thank you all for reading.

Precautions after grafting osmanthus onto fringetree

Light

Osmanthus likes sunlight and tolerates high temperatures, so there is no need to shade it when it is hot. June to August is the period of osmanthus differentiation, so about ten hours of sunlight should be given every day, as only then can the flowering rate be promoted.

Watering

It is now autumn. After grafting osmanthus onto fringetree, it should be watered once a day, and the soil needs to remain moist. Only in this way can the fringetree grow better, and the osmanthus can also develop better.

Fertilizing

Osmanthus trees like fertilizer, so fertilization should be scientific. From May to June, apply fertilizer once every half month. From June to July, apply fertilizer about once a week. In early August, apply it one last time, and in this way the osmanthus can bloom very well.

Today we introduced the benefits of grafting osmanthus onto fringetree, and also learned how to cultivate it after grafting. Friends in the north who want to graft osmanthus trees can use fringetree as the rootstock, and then pay more attention to some precautions after grafting, so the flowering rate of the osmanthus tree will be very high!
