Abstract: To evaluate the effect of scion storage methods and time on the growth of grafted seedlings of oil-tea camellia by comparing the survival rate, height, ground diameter and leaf number of seedlings, current-year-old spring shoots from oil-tea camellia were employed in this experiment. The results showed that the value of the survival rate, height, ground diameter and leaf number of seedlings of the treatment of grafting with fresh scion was higher than those of four different storage treatments. The survival rate was more than 50% when the scions were stored in moistened sand for 2 days, in water for 3 days, in normal temperature for 5 days and in low temperature for 2 days. Among four kinds of storage treatments, the maximum value of the height, ground diameter and leaf number of seedlings occurred on the first day, but the appeared time of the minimum value was different. In general, scion should be grafted as fresh as possible in order to increase the survival rate of grafting, and the storage time should not be more than 5 days.
