What are the methods and time for grafting saplings?

It is best to graft saplings in spring, especially around March. At this time, the rootstock just began to sprout, and the wound healed faster after grafting without affecting the growth of fruit trees. Pay attention to the weather when grafting, and do it when the weather is good.

Grafting method: The branches of plants are used as grafting materials, and their bases are cut into sections that can be in close contact with the rootstock incision, then inserted into the rootstock incision, covered with cloth to combine them and grow into new plants. Compared with bud grafting, grafting has the advantages of high survival rate and fast growth of grafted seedlings, but the operation is not as simple as bud grafting and it is not as easy to master. Moreover, there are many scions for grafting, and there are certain thickness requirements for rootstocks.
