The issues of planting trees on others are usually dealt with by breeders. Although even simple gardeners sometimes set out to do it in their garden. And then questions begin to arise - what can be planted with, what cuttings will subsequently give a full-fledged plant with fruits, because without it the whole idea does not make sense.
Undoubtedly, the best thing is to get on like on an apple tree on an apple tree, a pear on a pear and in such a spirit. But sometimes we go further and want to try to plant, say, a plum, something entirely from another species. And we begin to wonder whether it is possible to plant apple, cherry or peach on the plum. Well, let's find out about it together.
Cuttings of which fruit trees can be planted on a plum?
If you decide to try a complex gardening, you need to first reliably know what can be planted on the sink. Interspecific grafting, of course, is rather risky, but if you do it right, you can achieve interesting results.
Here is a list of crops that can become plum cones:
- felt cherry;
- apricot;
- peach.
As you can see, these are all - stone fruit crops. For them, the plum is sometimes salutary, since it perfectly tolerates frosts, can take root in any, even swamped, soils.
The easiest way is to inoculate an apricot plum. This can come in handy if you have acid soil on the plot. In this case, it is possible to grow apricot on the root plum or plum. Usually grown in this way, the apricot feels pretty good. Practically there is no build-up, which speaks of the excellent compatibility of fabrics.
When is it better to vaccinate?
The time factor for this procedure is very important. Each time of the year has its own fundamental features. It is believed that the best time for grafting is spring. During this period, the circulation of juice is very active, and with close contact
In summer, vaccinations are carried out only in the event that the spring failed and a second attempt is required. There is a chance that, before the onset of winter and cold weather, cuttings will have time to settle down and grow stronger.
In the fall, it is necessary to do the inoculation especially carefully, since sudden frosts can ruin the grafted graft and prevent it from getting accustomed.
In addition, gardeners are usually guided by the lunar calendar, in which there are recommendations on the compatibility of different phases of the moon and carried out certain manipulations with plants.
