Time and method of grafting peach trees in autumn

Peach trees are grafted in autumn from July to September. Peel off a bud eye on the rootstock and a bud eye on the scion, then align the bud eye on the scion with the bud eye on the rootstock, and finally wrap it with plastic sheets. When the wound heals, the plastic sheet can be removed.

Peach trees can be grafted in autumn, which is also a suitable season for grafting. The time can be July-September, not too early or too late. At this time, if the temperature is appropriate, it will be more conducive to dry storage and improve the survival rate.

Before grafting, the rootstock and scion should be selected, and the rootstock should be robust, pest-free and robust peach seedlings, so that the rootstock after grafting is conducive to growth. The scion should choose excellent peach trees that have been growing for more than three years, and cut off the new branches on them, requiring the branches to grow healthily, without pests and diseases, with full flower buds and uniform thickness, so as to improve the survival rate.

Grafting: peel off a bud eye on the rootstock and scion, then align the bud eye on the scion with the bud eye on the rootstock, and finally wrap it with plastic cloth, and then remove the plastic cloth after the wound heals.

Soil: Peach trees are loose, breathable and fertile acid soil. Before planting, appropriate amount of organic matter should be added to the soil to increase soil fertility.

Illumination: Peach trees are light-loving plants and can survive in a semi-shady environment. They need to be maintained in sunny places every day, which is beneficial to the growth of plants. The sun is strong in summer, so it needs proper shading to avoid sunburn.

Moisture: Peach trees like moist growth environment, so it is necessary to replenish moisture in time during daily maintenance, and be careful not to water them too much. In summer, water evaporates quickly, which can increase the number of watering, and can also sprinkle water around plants for humidification.
