Crown grafting with orange
A. TRUNK PREPARATION
- give a good wet to the tree on which I make the graft.
- Attach the trunk
- Cut the trunk so that it does not peel
- surface of the cut should be smooth.
B. MARCH PREPARATION
- Remove the leaves from the scion leaving stalks of the leaves. Three buds on the scion. This branch of 2 slips.
- cut above the gem, under the straight part
- Sharpen scion on one side
- tiny incision on the other side on the tip
4 ready scions sharpened on one side with tiny incision on the other side:
C. GRAFT
graft in part of the swollen cortex where there are more vessels
wait 25 days to open and see if the scions have survived and sprouted.
.
Crown grafting with olive
The grafting procedure with olive trees is similar to grafting with dogwood.
.
conclusion
I made my grafts on April 17 in Lipari in Sicily.
The dogwood bloomed and I tried to get a branch that had no flowers.
For the olive tree I grafted the next day on a wild olive tree with scion taken from an olive branch which makes me good bitter green olives.
