1、 Budding

This method is usually done in July and August, and there are many choices of rootstocks, including privet, wax, tassel and clove

1. Generally speaking, privet requires cutting off its bud, which will be a little troublesome, because it is often long, but if it is not cut, it will not be lilac but privet

2. Our scions need to use the stronger leaf buds that grow in that year. In the process of grafting, we need to cut off the leaves on the scion and leave only the petiole. Then we need to cross cut and move the place about one centimeter above the bud to, and then cut down about three centimeters from the middle of the incision to make it appear in the shape of "t"

3. Then we peel off its skin and insert the cuttings into it. The two need to be closely combined, and then we need to use plastic film to bind it

4. Generally, the petiole on the scion will fall in two to three weeks. If it falls, the bud will survive. At this time, we can cut off the plastic strip

2、 Branch connection

1. This time is generally determined in early spring, and the length of the scion also needs to be between 8cm and 10cm. Generally, two pairs of bud nodes should be left for it, and then the lower part of the scion should be cut into an inclined plane

2. Generally, the true face of this selection needs to be the clove solid wood seedling that has grown for one or two years. Generally, it should be cut off five to ten centimeters from the ground, and then cut a vertical seam from the section. Then, what to do is to insert the scion

3. The two also need to fit closely, and then all you have to do is tie it up in a plastic bag

4. In order not to let the blade lose too much water, we need to bury it with very wet soil. After the buds on the scion grow, we need to remove the soil covered on it

5. We can pick branches in autumn and winter, bury them under the ground and branch again the next spring. Generally speaking, the scion can grow to about 50-80cm in that year. In the second year, we need to cut the branches short, so that its lateral branches will grow better

Close connection

This is to directly cut an interface between its scion and rootstock, and then tie it together. When new callus grows from the knife edge, cut off the top branch from the top of the interface and cut one centimeter below the scion
