When grafting loquat tree, the branch position should be one meter high, which can be sawed from its position of 15-20cm. It should be noted that the cutting position should be slightly angled. After the branches are ready, cut a small opening with an inclination on the relatively smooth trunk, not too deep. Insert the scion and the cut on the tree you just prepared, and then wrap the interface with some tools.

I. grafting method

1. Sawing anvil: the grafting branch should be one meter high. Select a tree with only 2-3 branches. The branch to be used should be sawed from its place of 15-20cm, and other thin branches can be cut off. The wound should be flat, and the incision should be slightly inclined.

2. Cutting anvil: in the place where the skin of the tree is relatively smooth, use a knife to cut a small opening with an inclination, not too deep, only to the place where the bark contacts the wood inside.

3. Scion cutting: under the selected scion, use a knife to cut an inclined angle of 45 °. The inclined plane should be 1.5cm long. Leave two small eyes on the other side of the scion. The extra part can be cut off

4. Binding: connect the scion with the interface, and then bind it with the prepared tools, which can not only make it strong, but also speed up the recovery of wound and increase the success rate of grafting.
