Autumn osmanthus is the most popular plant. Anyone who has raised osmanthus knows that osmanthus blooms in autumn and its petals are very small, but the fragrance is very rich, with a super rich fragrance of florals, and even some pungent. When an osmanthus tree blooms, its fragrance can be smelled within a hundred meters. This is the uniqueness of osmanthus. The rich fragrance of florals makes people remember it at once.
The price of osmanthus on the market is very cheap, especially in recent years, there have been more flower farmers who breed osmanthus, and the price is no longer as high as before. The osmanthus on the market can be bought for thirty or forty yuan. The larger ones cost more than 100 yuan, and the bonsai osmanthus should be higher. If the osmanthus is raised at home, ordinary seedlings can still bloom.
A larger osmanthus is more suitable for garden planting or park planting, and has a better ornamental effect. In some southern regions, osmanthus can even grow into a tree more than 3m tall. The climatic conditions in the southern region are suitable for the growth of osmanthus, and the growth period is long enough, so the advantages of osmanthus are also revealed. They are extremely tall, with huge flowers and a strong aroma.
Osmanthus is divided into many varieties, mainly Jinguan and Four-season Osmanthus . Jinguan heals faster by grafting wounds, bloom more in autumn, and the fragrance of flowers should be richer. Among osmanthus, golden osmanthus has the largest number of breeding, including many dessert making, which are all made of golden osmanthus petals. You can choose four-season Osmanthus, which is relatively more suitable for home cultivation.
The osmanthus we buy on the market are all grafted. Osmanthus is easier to bloom on the basis of grafting. This is also the benefit of grafting. Many plants can also be raised by grafting. Otherwise, it will take at least six or seven years for osmanthus to grow and bloom through branch cuttings, and the grafted osmanthus will bloom in the next year. There are two types of grafted rootstocks for
osmanthus grafted rootstocks, one is ash tree , and the other is tassel tree . These two trees have their own benefits and disadvantages. The grafted osmanthus is also different. The osmanthus sold on the market is grafted through tassel trees. The tassel trees grow fast, have a high affinity, and are low-temperature resistant. The grafted osmanthus has a higher survival rate and a faster growth rate. After a year of maintenance, the branches can basically be lush.
At this stage, the osmanthus raised in the family are also grafted, and they are all grafted and maintained with tassels. Some businesses like to graft with ash wax. Ash wax grafting is mostly used for bonsai. Through grafting, the branches of osmanthus flowers can be grafted on the trunk of ash wax, which can cause bonsai. The price of bonsai is higher, not suitable for family raising, and is mostly used in gardening greenhouses or gardening exhibitions.
I suggest you graft the osmanthus. It is most suitable to use tassels, and the survival rate of grafting can reach 90%. After the two plants come into contact, the wound will heal faster. In the northern region, there is no heating at home, and the osmanthus with tassels can still grow and grow.
