Banyan trees are best grafted in early spring when they start to sprout. Banyan trees can be grafted onto mulberry trees and osmanthus trees because they belong to the same family and genus, so they can be grafted. In addition, banyan trees can be grafted onto mulberry trees in spring, using the multi-head side grafting method, and can also be grafted onto osmanthus trees in spring, generally using the approach grafting method.
Types of Trees Banyan Trees Can Be Grafted Onto
Banyan trees are best grafted in early spring when they start to sprout. Banyan trees can be grafted onto mulberry trees and osmanthus trees because they belong to the same family and genus, so they can be grafted.
Grafting banyan trees onto mulberry trees: Banyan trees are best grafted onto mulberry trees in spring. Mulberry trees have good growth ability, and since they are of the same family, they are easy to survive, usually using the multi-head side grafting method.
Grafting banyan trees onto osmanthus trees: Banyan trees are most suitable for grafting onto osmanthus trees in spring. Banyan trees have a unique shape with large branches and leaves, while osmanthus trees have hard wood and thin bark. They are closely related and can be grafted together, with a high survival rate, generally using the approach grafting method.
