Conquer and rootstocks of our gardens: what can we vaccinate for

Gardening is one of the most favorite occupations of the inhabitants of our country. Of course, not all have such plots to do this on an industrial scale, but at least five trees can plant many.

How to accelerate the beginning of fruiting

Many people have a problem with the fact that domestic varieties are often late to bear fruit. How to deal with this? The main way is to use vaccines. Traditionally, trees of the same species are used, although there are exceptions. So what can you vaccinate?

Apple trees

First, consider the apple trees, as they are real queens of domestic gardens. If you do not have the opportunity to vaccinate for a cultivar, do not despair. There are also wild apple trees!

For this purpose, young trees should be selected no older than 2-3 years. The main thing in this business is how to excavate them as carefully as possible, trying to keep the maximum of the root system. By the way, this rule can be violated: the core root can and should be cut, since such plants form a more magnificent crown.

But in the gardens we have not only apple trees! So what can be vaccinated in the case of pears?

Pears

With the wild trees of this species in the domestic forests the problem ... But not everything is so bad! If you have a low-value apple tree, then a pear can be planted on it. Practice shows that such "chimeras" become resistant to frosts, they start to bear fruit, they are less susceptible to damage by pests and diseases.

In the southern regions, everything is much simpler. The same pear (as well as apple tree) can be planted on cherry plum. Strangely enough, but the wilds of this culture are simply an excellent basis for the formation of a cultural tree.

Are there any other options for what can be vaccinated?

Now it's the other way around ...

Above we examined where you can plant a pear shank. And if you go on the contrary? So, what can be planted on the pear?

If you read carefully, you probably assume that you can plant the apple tree on it. This is true, but there are much more interesting options!

There is a small feature. The fact is that the trees of this breed do not accept "outsiders" badly. The introduction of other breeds on them is the lot of the most experienced gardeners, but you can easily "plant" any cultivated variety to a wild pear .

Continuing the conversation about the southern traditions, we can not but mention the plum. It is the ideal stock for all varieties. Apricots and peaches on it turn out simply magnificent! Unfortunately, cherries and cherries do not get accustomed to it.

By the way, what can be planted with apples in the conditions of our region?

Oh, the options here - not one dozen! Empirically, it was established that quince (a dwarf form) would be perfect as a stock, an igra (also a dwarf), a hawthorn. It turns out to be an exceptionally tall and cold-resistant tree. In addition, you can experiment with all kinds of mountain ash.

We hope that you learned from us exactly what you can vaccinate. Note that in many cases (when planted on other species of trees), the characteristics of the graft may very much diverge from those of the parent breed.
