Jindanzi, also known as Wuxi or Daxiangshi, belongs to the persimmon family and is a plant of the persimmon genus. The main propagation methods of Jindanzi include seeding, cutting, and grafting. Grafting includes three methods: approach grafting, bud grafting, and branch grafting. Let's introduce the grafting methods of Jindanzi.
1. Grafting Time
Generally, the period from late April to early May is chosen for grafting, as the temperature, moisture, and lighting conditions are suitable. It is best to choose a cloudy day with less intense sunlight for grafting.
2. Stock Selection
Select 3-5 branches that are growing well and strong, and remove any excess branches. Use a sterilized tool to cut the branches to a length of 5 centimeters and then make a cut about 2 centimeters deep along the center of the cross-section.
3. Scion Selection
Select strong branches that are appropriately sized and compatible with the stock from mature female plants. For higher success rates, it is best to choose branches that are 5 centimeters long with 4-5 axillary buds. After selecting the branches, use the previous tool to remove the bark from the bottom of the scion, as the cut on the stock is 2 centimeters, so the depth of the cut surface should also be 2 centimeters.
4. Grafting Process
After preparing the stock and scion, insert the bottom of the scion into the cut of the stock, making sure to align at least one side of the cambium layer, and then tie them together with a string. After grafting, cover both the scion and stock with a plastic bag to keep them warm and moist.
5. Post-Grafting Care
Jindanzi prefers warm, moist, and sunny conditions. Therefore, it is important to provide appropriate temperature, water, and lighting conditions. In winter, it is necessary to keep the plants warm and protected from the cold. Regular fertilization is also required, following the principle of applying thin layers of fertilizer frequently. Additionally, it is important to mix female and male plants so they can pollinate and set fruit.
The above is a comprehensive explanation of when it is best to graft Jindanzi and the optimal grafting time and methods. I hope this can help you.
