Grafting Citrus Trees - Cleft Grafting a Fruit Cocktail Tree

@@Fruitmentor thx. One more question. I’m having trouble finding dormant scions for the variety I’m interested in.

Thx again!

[@Fruitmentor]

I don’t know anywhere that you could acquire them now. You could try the non-dormant scions now and then try again earlier next year if they fail. I would suggest cutting off any leaves and trying the aluminum foil trick that I show in this video. I would be interested to hear how it goes.

@@Fruitmentor I was able to find a few dormant pear scions thru CRFG (CA Rare Fruit Growers). They seem like a really nice group that I may join. I did 2 cleft grafts & 1 Z graft.

[@Fruitmentor]

Thank you!

[@garrains9757]

Thanks for the tips and your booklet. I created 3 cocktail trees, If all goes well I will have 12 varieties of citrus. After 40 days I unwrapped the 68 grafts and found a 72% success rate. It’s possibly the tree would have been better with fewer grafts. The variety with the most failures were the kishu. I remember the budwood was very thin. I most likely didn’t make adequate cambium contact. I noticed many of the failures were done a week after the initial grafts, I kept the CCPP budwood in the fridge, but I may have been hasty in doing the grafts. Five of the grafts had leave growth and one improved Meyer lemon graft has 8 lemon blossoms. I doubt the graft can support the weight. Do I need to remove all the blossoms. I kept apical dominance in mind when picking branches upon which to graft. Also, If a branch jutted out and had three branchlets, I grafted all three branchlets with the same variety. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@garrains9757]

Also had some loss due to mildew. I see in your re-reading your booklet, I might have been able to save some had I checked earlier. If you see this, should my trees now move into full sun?

Excellent quality and informative video! For grafts to heal well how much of a 24 hr period needs to be in the ideal 70-85 F range. Right now in my area we have 45-75 ranges with only 6 hr per day above 70. Would that work?

[@Fruitmentor]

Thank you! I have not performed any experiments to quantify the number of hours per day in the ideal range. I have done some grafting with less than ideal weather and have noticed that the grafts sometimes succeed even when the weather is poor, but the success rate is much lower. I have also observed that when grafts like this do succeed, they can be slow to start growing the next season; I'm guessing that they may have healed enough to keep the scion alive, but not as well as they would have in better weather..

Tip: for a straight-down-the-middle cleft cut, I recommend a dual-bevel knife. For the life of me, I can't make my Victornix single-bevel knives give me any cut that doesn't slant to one side or the other, especially with rose bushes. Everyone recommends single-bevel knives, but dual-bevel has its place, and this cut is it.

Thanks to your videos and ebook I have successfully grafted Thornless Mexican lime, Frost Washington Navel and Frost Eureka Lemon scions onto what I believe is a way overgrown rough lemon rootstock growing wild in my yard. I’m just about to cut down the rough lemon above the grafted branches. Do you have any tips on nurturing these fruit cocktail trees past grafting? Thanks again for all your valuable free help!

[@Fruitmentor]

Thank you! I am glad that you have found everything helpful and that you have had some success! Be sure to fertilize your tree as citrus are heavy feeders. One thing that I think I should add to the ebook is a section on rootstocks. I think a common mistake people make is to graft to the wrong rootstock. If your rootstock is indeed rough lemon, your Washington Navel graft may suffer from poor fruit quality. I would expect the lemon and lime to do well, though.

[@Fruitmentor]

You may enjoy my video on breeding: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nF7KZ5WZjZ1re8k Your seedlings may not necessarily be true-to-type. Whether they have disease or not depends upon the disease status of the mother tree. Most citrus diseases are not transmitted by seeds, but some are. See this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHKklmuKo7VmnLM If you would like to grow citrus fruit, I would recommend buying a tree from a reputable nursery rather than trying to grow a tree from seed.

[@ddbjg]

great video

[@ethanpayne4116]

Why did you use parafilm for this graft as opposed to the vinyl tape I've seen in your other videos? Is it because the cleft graft is more sensitive to getting wet than patch/T grafts? Also what is the rate of success of this technique compared to patch-bud grafting and T grafting, etc? How do you determine which grafting method to use for a given graft? Also, why did you prune the cyan to leave just 3-4 buds? Is that because it would have been too heavy for the fragile graft otherwise, or because you wanted to be able to use more of the cyan for other grafts?

[@zoya_plays918]

After removing the aluminum foil, is is best to keep the graft inside in a warmer area or in an unheated greenhouse? (where the night temperatures might drop below 9°C around April which is the time we would have to do it here. Is it also needed to mist the graft (both before and after there are buds growing on it) and lastly, watering regime: I intend to graft on either a poncirus seedling or rooted cutting, so I was wondering what the watering requirements are for a graft that is healing and tring to grow buds after.

Are you supposed to keep rain off the grafting? I'm in California still winter and rainy

[@Fruitmentor]

I think it is a bit early to graft citrus in California. For the grafts to heal the weather needs to be a certain temperature. When I’ve grafted them in Northern California, the rainy season is already over. You can read my article about it here: fruitmentor.com/grafting-citrus-trees-best-time

[@paulm965]

Do you find that certain varieties of citrus make better rootstock for grafting? And is it advantageous to match grapefruit to grapefruit, limes to limes, etc? Thanks!

[@Fruitmentor]

What I showed in this video is really a bit abnormal -- for example when I grafted the Ponderosa lemon to a mandarin interstock. There might have been an incompatibility issue there, but it would take more testing to figure that out with certainty, but it isn't really a worthwhile test to do. It might have been more likely to succeed if I had grafted it to a lemon branch instead. So if you graft things that are more similar I think you are more likely to succeed. Normally when citrus breeders develop a new rootstock they test it with many different scion varieties to look for compatibility issues. But with so many citrus varieties that could be grafted together you would not know if they are compatible unless you actually try grafting them together. If you're interested in looking into this more, there is a great book on rootstocks available on the UC Riverside Citrus Variety Collection. Here's a link to the book: citrusvariety.ucr.edu/sites/default/files/2022-08/citrus-rootstocks-their-characters-and-reactions-bitters.pdf

Hi, Thanks so much for these videos! You are inspiring me to try this out. I have a question. I have a Lemon that I grew from seed 3 years back. I bought the Lemon bought from Whole Foods ( probably Meyer Lemon ). Its about 4 feet now and I've read in many places that seeded lemons hardly fruit ( or take a long time ). I intend to try your grafting technique. Would you have any advice on what kind of scion I should order as well as what part of the rootstock should I be grafting? Can it be grafted in any branch of the rootstock or the main trunk? Many Thanks!

[@Fruitmentor]

You can graft to any branch or the main trunk. If it is your first time grafting you could graft to multiple branches to increase your chance of success and cut off all branches but your best graft. Please note that using a grocery store lemon seedling as a rootstock may give you a tree more vulnerable to diseases than one grafted to a rootstock that has been bred for disease resistance.

I expect that you could succeed at that time if temperatures are warm enough. My preference is to do it in springtime after the temperatures have warmed up a bit.
