Every gardener would like the trees on his plot annually to enjoy a rich and high-quality crop, never grow old, and any attracted variety easily and quickly took root. To embody all these dreams is quite real if you are an expert on grafting fruit crops. We will understand the nuances of this delicate and very exciting business.
Quince
The main rule of breeders - to instill similar to the like. In this case, a successful result is guaranteed, since intraspecific vaccinations always grow together easily and bear fruit well.
Important! The most difficult, but very real, intergeneric vaccinations are considered. For example, it is quite possible to grow a peach on a plum, even though it sounds like a fragment from a fantasy series. But such combinations are very short-lived. Cause - in the mismatch of the development rate of wood stock and scion. Over time, this vaccine turns into a thick deck that becomes unbearable for a thin leg.
The desired result can be obtained not only by crossing a varietal and wild quince, but also in a tandem of interspecific specimens. Recently gardeners have been experimenting more and more, planting a pear on a quince.
This combination of attractively special taste characteristics of the fruit that become more pronounced. To achieve this when growing together with a wilderness is almost impossible.
Experts emphasize that the quince in most cases is used as a stock for pears and apples - plants on which the cutting sticks to it. 
This variation is very successful for intervarietal and interspecific combinations, since the tree provides good nutrition for the graft, which, in turn, assimilates useful trace elements faster and forms an improved yield.
But the quince sprout to grow on a pear, apple, hawthorn is impossible. This happens extremely rarely even among professionals.
Cherry plum
The unmistakable option is the crossing of two varieties of this variety of plum. But as a result of numerous experiments, botanists proved that cherry plum is the best stock for most stone fruit.
Important! Vaccinations are best done at 4-5-year-old saplings, as a too young, underdeveloped tree is not yet ready to grow together, and older specimens have already formed enoughAlice for this. The older the stock, the more difficult it is to achieve a result.
The reasons for the popularity of stock plum are:
- high survival rate of cuttings;
- increased productivity of the future graft;
- improved taste and large fruit sizes;
- increase of drought and frost resistance;
- the presence of a smaller amount of root growth.
Experienced gardeners speak well of apricots, cherries, plums and peaches grafted on cherry plum. At the same time, they note the effectiveness of the latter combination only in warm regions, where there are no severe winters.And also advised to use for vaccination semi-wild varieties of cherry plum.

Plum
Having become interested in higher gardening, many lovers of experiments combine the incompatible and, of course, are disappointed in the started business.
In order not to have to regret about wasted time, we asked the experts what can be planted on the plum.
In one of the country's largest garden nurseries, we were advised to grow felt cherries and peaches on this stock. 
And if you want to get something interesting from the varietal plums, then it is better to do the inoculation on the seedlings of cherry plum, dwarf, large thorn. An excellent nutritional material for splicing is the VVA-1 stock, Eurasia 43, SVG-11-19.
Important! It is better to plan the grafting of fruit crops in the spring, when the vegetative period begins and the circulation of sap in the trunks is very intensive. Summer experiments are often failing due to dehydration, and autumn experiments are due to early frosts.
Dwarf plum varieties are well grafted on the turn, which is characterized by increased endurance to the cold. 
In vain, you are puzzled by the question "Is it possible to plant apricot on a plum?". This is the easiest and most successful way to get something new in the garden.
Experts recommend this combination when the site is highly oxidized. In addition, there is a good compatibility of fibers, which is evident by the absence of growths on the trunk.
Apricot
For apricot, the main stock is turn, pole or cherry plum. Sometimes the cuttings successfully grow to the sand cherry, but this tandem requires a certain knowledge and skills from the gardener.
Regarding the variations of what can be grafted on apricots, experts categorically do not recommend combining them with cuttings of stone fruit. The fact is that such a stock in almost all parameters is an unfavorable material. 
Peach
It is very difficult to get a peach from a plum. On intergenerous crosses, professional gardeners specialize more than amateurs.
Did you know? Fruit crops can signal each other about the imminent attack of harmful insects or pathogens. This communicative process takes place, according to scientists, with the help of symbiotic fungi, micelles of which entwine the roots of plants.
More chances to grow unique peach fruits, if you graft its cuttings on plum, felt and sand cherries, sloes, almonds (and other stone fruits). Experts consider plough as an ideal stock.And also note the troublesome process of grafting all varieties of peach. Even with a well-chosen stock, it often happens that a culture dies during wintering or it gets poorly engraved due to environmental factors.
Some gardeners share the experience of a successful experiment with the stock of more frost-resistant varieties of peach.
Cherry
The unspoken rules of gardeners assert the successful combination of all stone fruit. They can be combined as rootstock and scion. Deciphering these instructions, experts say that the best for cherries are a combination with sweet cherry and bird cherry, as well as varietal cherries.
These are the most common variations of the amateur level. And tandems of willows with hybrids and different varieties are allowed. 
Did you know? Scientists managed to prove that all plants are transmitters of information about the amount of ultraviolet received. This process takes place at the expense of an internal mechanism resembling the nervous system of primitive living organisms. For example, when the light hit only one leaf, in others a violent chemical reaction occurred. In addition, it was different in color exposure.
But this is still an incomplete list of what can be planted on cherries. Amazing berries are obtained by combining it with currants, cherry plum and plum. Moreover, in these cases, the opposite is allowed.
And if you want to get a dwarf, very winter-hardy tree with a branchy variegated crown - try to grow a cherry with thorns. 
In regions with moderate climatic conditions, “Vladimirsky”, “Korostynsky” varieties of cherries, as well as cloned stock “Izmaylovskaya (PN)”, “Rubin”, AVCh-2, VP-1 are ideal for vaccination.
Cherries
If you do not deviate from the key rule of gardeners, then the ideal option for cherry cuttings are cold-resistant varieties of cherry.
And when you want to expand the horizons of horticultural opportunities, you can try to graft them on cherry or cherry plum. These variations are welcome among industry professionals, as they have a good survival rate and the ability to collect different types of fruits from one tree each year.
The only requirement for the graft: it must be with good immunity and endurance to adverse cultivation conditions. 
Did you know? In order to get a result from grafted plants, you will need 4-5 years.
Experienced gardeners can try to grow a cherry with a plum, using the latter as a stock. Such a combination requires a lot of effort and knowledge, but the result is worth it.
Pear
The easiest way to splice different varieties of pears. It truly brings pleasure from maximum effect. For such combinations, gardeners prefer the varieties Svetlyanka, Lesnaya, Severyanka, Tenderness, Ussuriyskaya, which are used for rootstocks. 
A good result is obtained when a pear is engrafted on a quince. Such a shoot never grows high, its fruits ripen much faster than usual and have a slightly tart pleasant taste.
Well, if you ask, "Is it possible to plant an apple tree on a pear?", Then you will get an unequivocal answer: "Yes." Apple varieties "Melba", "Vityaz", "Antonovka" and pear "Kadephralna", "Lada" are considered the most common combination, which is distinguished by the rapid accretion of the rootstock and the scion.
Experts warn of high yields of vaccinations, so they advise to back up the branches of the scion in time, because the risk of breaking them is very high. 
Did you know? The foliage on the plants is located in a clear order: at a specific angle, at the same distance from each other, over or counterclockwise. Mathematicians managed to describe these facts by fractional numbers from the Fibonacci series. For example, in an apricot, the angle between the leaves is 2/5, in the almond - 5/13, and in the pear - 3/8. Botanists translate these values as the effective ability of plants to get ultraviolet and moisture.
Engraftment of pear cuttings on mountain ash, hawthorn, dogwood, chokeberry (black chokeberry), irga and even lemon is allowed. In all cases, the experimental tree requires increased attention and extra care.
The fact is that the pear differs from the listed rootstocks by its rapid development, which reduces their strength and durability. 
Apple tree
Perhaps this is the most common material for experiments, both at the professional and at the amateur level. The apple tree is usually crossed with other seed crops.
And all attempts to merge it with plums, cherries and apricots are regularly crowned with failure, because the stone fruit and seed seeds are not a pair.
Theoretically, it is possible to grow a pear from an apple tree, but in practice this is not even possible for all specialists. Poor accretion of crops due to different rates of their growing season, which contributes to the destruction of the site of vaccination.
Consequently, there is little that can be successfully grafted into an apple tree. As a rule, these are intervarietal and sort-wild combinations. Frost resistant varieties with good immunity to common diseases and pests (Antonovka, Anis) are chosen as a stock. 
Important! For vaccination harvested only young and strong cuttings.Professionals consider the best apple rootstocks to be:
- 62-396;
- A2;
- 5-25-3;
- M9;
- MM 106;
- 54-118.
Gooseberry
This variety of fruit and berry crops can be combined with red and black currants. The obtained sprouts are characterized by increased yield, endurance to droughts, frost and other unfavorable conditions for cultivation.
It is best to take the work of two-year seedlings, as well as offspring from the roots. 
Rowan
Cuttings from this culture are an excellent graft for hawthorn and chokeberry. As a stock, it is used for cornel and pear. 
Hawthorn
Gardeners among themselves call this tree a universal stock for many fruit and even garden crops. Of all the things that can be planted on hawthorn, apple trees, pears, dogwood, aronia and standard roses are especially popular.
The wood of the plant is distinguished by its strength and endurance; therefore, the grafts grown from it automatically receive immunity and vitality.
Important! The vaccine stock must be sterile.
Now you know the main secrets of splicing fruit crops. We hope our recommendations will help you avoid the most common mistakes of inexperienced gardeners and not waste time waiting for the result from the incompatible.Always consider the botanical relationship of the grafted plants, and experiments that are successful to you.
