Through the interviews and investigations of
comparative tree method, 30 dominant Lacquer trees having straight and balance
trunk, no pests, and higher annual average resin yield of 205g/year/tree has
been selected as the source of the mother trees to get the material to produce
seedlings with high and stable resin yield. Different grafting methods were
carried out in order to find out the suitable method to propagate Lacquer
plants. The results showed that Lacquer trees can be successfully graft with
several different grafting methods and the highest survival rate shown by wedge
grafting method is 58.85% and the best
grafting season for this is spring.
