1. Grafting Time
Generally, grafting is done from late April to early May, as the temperature, moisture, and lighting conditions are suitable at this time. It is best to choose a cloudy day with less intense sunlight for grafting.
2. Rootstock Selection
Select 3-5 healthy and robust branches and cut off any excess ones. Use a sterilized tool to cut the branches to 5 cm in length and then make a 2 cm deep cut along the center of the cross-section.
3. Scion Selection
Select strong branches of the right size that match the rootstock from mature female plants. For higher success rates, it's best to choose branches that are 5 cm long from the tip with 4-5 axillary buds. After selecting the branches, use the same tool to remove the bark from the bottom of the scion, as the rootstock's cut is 2 cm, the cut surface should also be 2 cm deep.
4. Grafting Process
After preparing the rootstock and scion, insert the bottom of the scion into the cut of the rootstock, making sure to align at least one side of the cambium layer, then tie the joint with a string to secure it. After grafting, cover both the scion and rootstock tightly with a plastic bag to maintain warmth and moisture.
5. Post-Grafting Care
Jin Danzi prefers warm, humid, and sunny conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to provide suitable temperature, water, and light conditions. In winter, make sure to keep it warm and protect it from the cold. Regular fertilization is also important, with the principle of applying thin fertilizers frequently. Moreover, it is important to mix female and male plants so that the plants can be pollinated and fruit.
