Grafting of ginseng and banyan

The grafting methods of ginseng banyan include branch grafting and wedge grafting

Branch connection of ginseng and banyan

Branch grafting is generally in early April or autumn when the branches germinate, because the newly germinated branches should be selected for rootstocks and scions, especially the tender branches must be used for rootstocks, preferably those that are being pumped and have not been capped. The specific steps of branch grafting include: first, cut off the top of the rootstock with a sterilized blade, then cut a small opening downward along the pith core, then take the short scion that retains the top bud and leaves, cut its lower section into V and insert it into the rootstock. At this time, it should be noted that it must be aligned with the cambium, and finally bind it firmly. After the ginseng banyan is grafted, it is watered with water, then covered with plastic bags, and the plant is moved to a sunny, ventilated and warm place. After that, take off the membrane every day for ventilation, and you can loosen it almost in a month and a half

Wedge joint of ginseng and banyan

Wedge connection is generally carried out when the branches have just sprouted and the branches have not yet sprouted in spring. The specific steps of wedge connection include: firstly, select the annual robust branches, cut a small segment with axillary buds of 6 to 10 cm as the scion, and cut its base into an inclined plane of 3 cm on one side and 1 cm on the other side. After that, cut the rootstock into a flat section, cut a small opening longitudinally, and then insert the long cutting face of the scion into the Rootstock to align with the cambium,. Finally, tie it with plastic strips, and then put on plastic bags to moisturize until the scion sprouts
