When is the best time for grafting citrus trees?

Fruit tree grafting is generally carried out in spring, and the best grafting time is between awakening festival and vernal equinox every year. When the bud is not germinated, the grafting survival rate is high. Grafting time should not be too early, because the temperature is low, the growth activity of fruit trees is poor, and the survival rate of scions is not high. Grafting time should not be too late, buds will germinate and grow, and a lot of water will be released, which will affect the survival rate of scions.

When fruit trees are grafted, ① timely grafting. Too early or too late will not affect the survival rate. (2) Fruity branches should be selected for grafting, and sturdy buds should be selected for bud selection. ③ Choose grafting without rainy days to prevent rain from infecting bacteria and affecting survival. (4) The grafting knife and wrapping tape should be sterile to avoid infection and affect the survival rate. ⑤ The transplant knife should be smooth, which can increase the degree of coincidence between knives and improve the survival rate. ⑥ The wound should be bandaged and sealed, so as to prevent the scion from loosening and the rainwater from flowing backwards, which will affect the survival rate. ⑦ After fruit trees are grafted, protective measures should be taken to avoid strong wind and contact with people and animals, which will leave an impression on the scion and affect the survival rate.

In a word, fruit tree grafting should be carried out between the awakening and the vernal equinox, and the survival rate is very high.
