SUCA Plant Grafting Tools Make Your Fruit Trees Better
Apple grafting is a common method of fruit tree propagation. By grafting branches from different varieties of apple trees onto a single apple tree, it can bear more, larger, and better fruits. What are the impacts of SUCA plant grafting tools on apple grafting? This article will provide you with a detailed analysis.
Advantages of SUCA Plant Grafting Tools
When you choose SUCA plant grafting tools, you will get durable tools made of stainless steel. The SUCA plant grafting tools include a 2-in-1 garden shear, grafting knife, wrench, screwdriver, and a storage box. The plant grafting tools have a built-in safety lock to prevent accidental cuts. In addition, the well-equipped grafting tools allow you to trim better and improve the survival rate of grafted branches.
Method of Grafting Apples Using Plant Grafting Tools
Spring is also a critical period for fruit tree growth. Choosing this time to use SUCA plant grafting tools for grafting is beneficial for the overall growth of fruit trees and the improvement of fruit quality.
Pruning preparation
Before grafting apples, you need to take out the SUCA plant grafting tools 2-in-1 garden shear to appropriately prune the apple tree. Cut off branches with pests, diseases, or cross-growth to keep the crown clean and tidy. Prune some side branches on the trunk to make room for grafting. Retain some healthy side branches to ensure normal growth of the tree.
Sharpen the grafting knife
The grafting knife is a key tool for apple grafting, so its sharpness must be ensured. You can use sandpaper or a steel wire ball to polish the grafting knife, making its surface smooth. Pay attention to disinfection to avoid bacterial contamination.
Select grafting branches
The selection of grafting branches is very important and relates to the success of grafting. Choose apple tree branches with strong disease and pest resistance, vigorous growth, and no diseases or pests as grafting branches. When selecting, you can pick from the trunk and side branches but try to avoid choosing branches from the same place to avoid affecting the grafting effect.
Make grafting scions
Cut the selected grafting branches to a specific length (generally 5-10 cm), then leave a node (about 1-2 cm) at the base to connect with the rootstock. Use plant grafting tools to cut an angled cut (about 30°-45°) on the upper part of the grafting branch for easier insertion into the rootstock. Also, trim off some leaves on the side of the grafting branch to reduce transpiration and improve survival rates.
Perform grafting
Insert the prepared grafting branch into the cut of the rootstock, aligning their cambium layers, then use the plant grafting tools grafting tape or plastic film to tightly wrap them to protect the grafting site from damage. Be careful not to let the grafting tape or plastic film stick too tightly to the grafting scion to avoid hindering nutrient transport. Finally, just fix the grafting site.
In short, by selecting an appropriate grafting time, using SUCA plant grafting tools, and strengthening post-grafting management, we can effectively improve the efficiency of tree propagation and fruit quality, bringing more harvest joy to you and your family.
