How to grow your seedlings (accelerated way)
OWN SEEDLINGS FOR 6 STEPS
Autumn is the time to think about preparing for the winter vaccination.
It is much more convenient than spring inoculations in the garden and summer budding, and you without much trouble you can grow your own planting material of the desired varieties of fruit crops.
Seeds for growing rootstocks are sown in late autumn, to a depth of 2-3 cm on heavy soils and 4 cm on light. You can even sow on frozen ground, in the grooves, sprinkling decomposed peat.
Seeds taken from the fruits of apple trees of the Antonovka ordinary, Cinnamon striped, anise, and chinatas are the most suitable for growing the rootstock material, since they are the most winter-hardy. However, it should be noted that seedlings from the whales during grafting are not compatible with all large-fruited apple varieties. You can take seedlings of forest apple, but the varieties grafted on them grow, as a rule, more vigorous and later become fruiting.
For growing pear rootstocks suitable seeds from the fruits of thin branches, Oli, Tyoma, Ussuri and Chinese pear. The last two can withstand temperatures down to 50 °.
If you do not have time for sowing in the fall, then sow in the spring. Seeds pre-hold 2-3 days in the water, changing it daily, then mix the seeds with wet sand in a wooden box. Duration of artificial stratification is usually 90 days, you can start it in February. Temperature during 3-5 ° stratification. When sprouts appear, store the boxes in a room with a temperature of 0 ° or bury them in the snow, notes, so that when it thaws, excess moisture does not get into the seeds.
Seed rootstocks in the garden are usually grown 2, then they are dug out in the late autumn, cut off the aerial part, leaving 30-35 cm, placed in boxes, interbedded with wet sawdust, and cleaned in an impermeable room where the temperature is kept from 2 ° to minus 3 ° . So the stocks are kept until winter vaccinations, which can be carried out from the second half of November to the end of February.
Boxes with stocks can be kept in the winter and on the street in a snow collar, covered with a layer of snow 40 cm and more.
The period of growing rootstocks can reduce if seeds are sown in greenhouses, where plants develop more successfully and are ready for digging at the end of the 1st year, in autumn.
The grafts cuttings are harvested in the fall, when the air temperature becomes negative - minus 5-10 °, and store them as stocks.
Before grafting, the rootstocks and grafts are brought home into heat, a film is prepared for the grafting, and stored in paraffin or candles and garden pitch.
It is possible to inoculate with improved copulation, in cleft, in lateral incision.
The length of the graft (graft) must be such that it has 2-3 buds.
Last year's sections from the stock are updated and grafted in one of the following ways. Then the graft is wrapped with plastic tape.
The finished vaccinations from the harness and the entire length of the cutting are dipped in a mixture of paraffin and garden warrior (12 or 1: 3), preheated to 70 ° in a water bath.
After that, the inoculations are interbedded with wet sawdust and held for two weeks at a temperature of 20-22 °. If there is no swelling and growth after this, the vaccine is cleaned into the room at 5-10 °. If there is a rise, then you need a temperature 0-2 °. So vaccinations contain before landing.

Planting seedlings in winter
Seedlings can be planted not only in spring but also in winter. Before the frosts we dig up stock in the garden. Cut the roots on 1 / 3 and trunks up to 10 cm, put them in the cellar and sprinkle them with wet sand. The cut on the trunk is treated with potassium permanganate.
With the advent of frost, we cut the cuttings with 2-3 kidneys (the upper cut is 1 cm higher than the kidney) for inoculation and store them in the sand cellar too. In winter, we bring stocks into the house and place them for 2-3 days in wet sawdust. Keep the cuttings warm (preferably in a container of water) 1 day.
Then at the ends of the cuttings and on the stock we make slanting cuts and split them to a depth of 3, see. It turns out something like reeds. Sections of the rootstock and the scion are joined, clasping the tongues, and wrapped with "threads" of natural bast.
Saplings laid under an inclination in the boxes and fall asleep with wet sawdust. We leave the house at 2-3 for a week, and then we take it to the cellar. In the spring we plant seedlings in the garden. Tying off in a month.
