1、 Grafting time

The grafting time of persimmon tree is very important, which can determine the survival rate. It is most appropriate to choose the spring, that is, from late March to late April, when the temperature is relatively stable, which can be conducive to rooting. The most suitable time is around the middle of April, when the branches and buds begin to germinate, but the leaves have not yet grown, and the grafting survival rate is the highest. If the time is too early and the temperature is relatively cold, it is unfavorable for growth. If the time is too late, the growth period happens to encounter the hot period in summer, and the survival rate decreases. In addition to spring, you can also choose summer and autumn

2、 Grafting method

1. Rootstock and scion: the best choice of rootstock is to use strong branches that are 1-3 years old, with a diameter of about 2 cm and a thickness of about 2 cm. The scion shall ensure smooth epidermis, plump bud points, no diseases and pests, and good quality. Generally, the scions should be grafted immediately after cutting. If they cannot be grafted directly, they need to be wrapped with wet sand and then stored at low temperature

2. Grafting: you can use the T-shaped method to graft, carve the T-shaped shape on the rootstock, and uncover the skin along the notch. Pinch the scion and insert it into the T-Notch, and then close and align the bark on both sides
