Orange grafting video tutorial

The following is an illustration of the specific grafting steps of an orange tree:

1. Select the full and plump buds in the middle of the branches for grafting. If you cut off one knot and graft one, you can wet it with water. That’s it. If you deal with a large amount of scions first, it is best to put them in water first to avoid water shortage in the scions, which will reduce the success rate of grafting. 2. Peel the rootstock until the wood can be seen, then insert the scion into the cut and wrap it. Tie the film tightly and tightly so that the buds should not be loose. The top of the cut buds should be covered. If not covered, they will easily dehydrate to death. In addition, if all branches are to be grafted, it is best for one branch to photosynthesize and grow, and then cut it off in the second year.

3. When tying, do not move the position where the cambium of the stock is aligned. The tightness should be moderate so as not to damage the tissue but also be firm.

4. The picture below shows what it will look like after one year of grafting. Fruits will be ready in the second year!

Extended information:

The grafting method used is bud grafting , that is, a bud is cut from a branch, with little or no xylem, inserted into the incision on the rootstock, and tied to make it close and heal.

First let’s talk about when is the best time to graft orange trees. Generally speaking, it is done in spring. Grafting is done before germination. It can still be grafted just after germination. If the germination exceeds one centimeter, the mortality rate is more than 50%. In addition, rainy days are not suitable for grafting because there are many bacteria and dirt.
