The invention discloses a top
grafting and head changing method for compound leaf
maple summer green branches. The method includes the steps that in June and July, the portion, with the height of 2-2.5 m, of a compound leaf
maple with the
trunk diameter at the breast height of 3-10 cm is
cut to form a stock, and annual shooting branches which are located on the periphery of a crown of a gold leaf compound leaf
maple, are moderate in growth vigor and develop fully are
cut to serve as scions, wherein the branches are 0.8-1.0 cm thick, and leaves on the branches are removed immediately while petioles are left; each scion has five to six pairs of buds and is 15 cm long, and the upper portions of the scions are wrapped by plastic films which are 0.04 mm thick and 4-5 cm wide; the lower end of each scion is
cut into a wedge which is 1.5-2 cm long, the cut faces are smooth, the scions are grafted to the stock by adopting a
bark grafting method in scion
grafting, then the grafted scions are bundled through plastic strips. The method is simple, scientific and reasonable, production and implementation are easy, the scion fixing effect is good, the
survival rate is large and can be over 95%, and the method is safe, reliable and beneficial for rapid propagation and crown forming performance of the compound leaf maples, and increases the production value.
