Seedling Rootstock Grafting Experiment by Using Scions from Different Clones for Rapid Reproductive Propagation of Camellia oleifera

Grafting experiment of Camellia oleifera were conducted for rapid reproductive propagation by using scions from different improved variety of C.oleifera clones.The results showed that the grafted C.oleifera got an average survival rate of 62%(2009) and 65.7%(2010),respectively.1-year old grafted seedlings had an average height of 22.6 cm,2-year old grafted seedlings had an average height of 43.7 cm.Different clones didn't demonstrate correlation to survival rate,also to sprouting ability.Height growth of grafted seedling correlated with seed quality and sprouting ability.
