When and how to cut
You need a noble rice of the variety that you plan to grow on a fruit tree. These 30 to 40 centimeters long and pencil-thick shoots are cut on a frost-free day during hibernation. It is important that the branches are at least a year old and do not show any diseases. Cut the young shoots directly in the crown area, ideally from the south side, and store them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator until they are finished. The latest time for pruning leaflets is April.

Goat foot refinement
This method is useful in cases where the cut branch is not the same size as the base. The refinement takes place on the side of a trunk or branch. That eye of the shoot points outwards and the cut surface lies against the wood, so that the young shoots receive important nutrients. The ideal Time for grafting fruit trees came just before the start of the new growing season.
method
Choose a suitable branch on which the noble rice will later be grafted. Saw it from both sides so that the bark does not peel off when you break it off. Unclean break points can be corrected with a saw or knife. Then select the place where you want the new variety to grow. Prepare the young shoot by cutting it off diagonally just below one eye over a length of three to four centimeters. Make sure the cut is smooth and don't touch the wound.
Grafting edible veins:
- Score the finishing point so that a five centimeter long slot is created
- Carefully lift the bark with a teaspoon handle
- Push the beveled end of the rice under the bark of the mat
- Shorten the branch to two or three eyes
Aftercare
Tie the young branch firmly to the base with a finishing tape. A watered natural bast has the same function. Seal the interface on the tree with an ecological wound protection to protect it from invading bacteria and fungi.
