3-in-1 Grafting on One Branch: A Step-by-Step Guide
Graft three different varieties onto one branch using this innovative technique. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Prepare the Rootstock
Select a healthy, vigorous branch (about 1-2 cm in diameter) on your rootstock tree.
- Cut the branch at a 45-degree angle, about 10-15 cm from the trunk.
Step 2: Prepare the Scions
Choose three compatible scion varieties (A, B, and C).
Cut each scion into a wedge shape, with the cut end matching the angle of the rootstock cut.
Ensure each scion has at least two nodes (the joint where a leaf meets the stem).
Step 3: Graft Scion A
- Place Scion A onto the rootstock, aligning the cut surfaces.
- Secure with grafting tape or a clip, leaving the nodes exposed.
Step 4: Graft Scion B
- Position Scion B about 2-3 cm above Scion A.
- Align the cut surfaces and secure with grafting tape or a clip.
Step 5: Graft Scion C
- Place Scion C about 2-3 cm above Scion B.
- Align the cut surfaces and secure with grafting tape or a clip.
Step 6: Wrap and Monitor
Wrap the entire grafted area with grafting tape or a propagation bag.
- Monitor for signs of union (swelling, callusing, or new growth).
Tips and Variations
- Use a grafting sealant to protect the cuts and promote union.
- Space scions farther apart for larger branches or more vigorous growth.
- Experiment with different scion combinations and rootstock varieties.
By following these steps, you'll successfully graft three varieties onto one branch, creating a unique and productive tree. Good luck!
