What are the propagation methods of plum trees?

Plum trees can be propagated by sowing, grafting and branching.

1. Seed propagation: sow mature seeds in autumn or sow them in spring after sand storage. After sowing, pay attention to spraying water on the seedbed frequently to keep the soil moist. Seedlings should be shaded by scaffolding and buried underground for cold protection before winter.

2. Plant propagation: it is carried out before germination in early spring or after defoliation in autumn and winter, and the tillers germinated in rhizosphere are dug into several plants, or 2-3 shoots with roots 1 cluster, and then transplanted. After planting, it should be watered in time, moisturized and shaded when necessary. Water in dry season.

3. Grafting propagation: The seedlings of peach, plum, mountain peach, apricot and plum can be used as rootstocks, and bud grafting will be carried out in July. The scion is selected from fully developed 1 annual branches, and the middle section of more than two complete buds is taken. After grafting, the scion is covered with fine soil. T-shaped grafting method is often used. It takes about 10 days after grafting. All the buds are fresh and the petiole will fall when touched, which is proof of grafting and can be unbound in a few days.
