Very interesting @4:00 that bud growth is encouraged simply by lowering the main, partially severed stem below the buds.

[@Fruitmentor]

[@Shaun.Stephens]

Now that I have a few years of grafting under my belt I have to say that I find the inverted T bud graft to have a lower success rate with citrus compared with the normal T bud graft. When trying to understand why this might be the case I remembered that apple and peach T bud grafters often cut a notch in the bark above the T to interrupt the downward flow of auxins so that the bud will sprout more quickly. This made me wonder if, by cutting the bark (and maybe cambium?) below an inverted T I was impeding the flow of... something? Or if the horizontal cut of an upright T similarly reduced auxin flow and somehow promoted callus growth? All I know is that last year I switched to inverted T and had a much higher failure rate. Food for thought... I'd love to read some science comparing the two methods.

[@Shaun.Stephens]

I must admit that my sample size is quite small but the difference in success rates was large. However there could be other reasons why the year I switched to using inverted T I had a lot of failures.

Great videos, very clear instructions. I have an old potted lemon tree I rescued from a garage sale. The trunk has a 2” diameter and grows off to the side, and only grows leaves at the very top. I’d love to graft one or two different varieties onto it, would that be possible?

[@ToriHalfon]

I live in LV. It's not the right time of year right now; but is it possible when I prune my Meyer Lemon tree next year, that I could grow some of those branches into new trees?

[@OmarDelawar]

Hey Fruitmentor. What happens if new branches develop from the original rootstock after the drafting has been completed? Do I need to prune those off or let them grow?

[@Fruitmentor]

Yes. Be sure to prune them off. If left to grow they could outgrow your graft and take over the tree!

[@markrullo9953]

thanks for the video! I have a question re breaking apical dominance, is there an advantage to breaking the stem and bending it over rather than just removing the stem above the graft completely? Cheers! :)

[@Fruitmentor]

The top part of the plant continues photosynthesis and continues to benefit the plant. The one disadvantage of retaining it is that there is an extra step to remove it later. That is not much of an issue for a hobbyist, but big nurseries sometimes cut off the top at grafting time to eliminate the step and save on labor costs.

[@markrullo9953]

[@niafreshman6831]

Great footage and very clear. I had no idea about diseases. I'm interested in grafting an old Cara Cara tree (from my grandmother's garden) onto an even older orange tree in my backyard. Both in southern CA. Do I need to be concerned if both trees are old and domestically grown without any insecticides? Thanks in advance!

[@Fruitmentor]

That wouldn’t be a good idea. HLB is spreading in Southern California and because of the Asian citrus psyllids, you have to make the assumption that any tree out in the open might be infected. If you were to do that you might spread HLB into your yard and then it would spread further from there. It is easy to avoid that by ordering certified disease-free budwood from the CCPP.

I am grafting a lemon bud onto an mature well developed/fruiting orange tree. How long will the lemon graft take to fruit?

[@Fruitmentor]

It depends on the conditions, but you can get fruit as soon as your graft grows out and produces a flower.

@@Fruitmentor Oh ok nice. Because want to graft a lot of different varieties onto the one tree. Thanks

[@nooreaman5003]

Hi which season should grafting citrus trees? I plant citrus tree by seed , they are 5-6 years old but that haven’t got fruit yet., which age they have fruit.

[@FC2ESWS]

Does it matter where on the tree you graft to? Like say the trunk vs the branch?

[@Fruitmentor]

The important thing is being able to break apical dominance to get the bud to actually grow. If you graft to the trunk and you want the bud to actually grow you need to be willing to remove the part of the tree above the graft. Likewise if you are grafting to a branch you need to be willing to remove the part of the branch above the graft. So you can graft to either. One thing to keep in mind when grafting to a larger tree: If you graft at the end of a small branch you aren't going to get as much growth of the variety as you would if you grafted lower down.

[@NRGTribe]

I have a large Citrus tree that really is a hardy, cold tolerant root stock that survived (it's graft did not). The tree is 12 feet tall. I was wondering if I could graft to branches using the same technique? (Instead of a small potted tree). I imagine the apical dominance might work the same on a branch. So after grafting I would cut the distal tip of the branch off? Any comments greatly appreciated.

[@Fruitmentor]

Here is a budding technique that I have found works well in this scenario: kzbin.info/www/bejne/laiTZmSwrsaWoa8 T budding could also be used, but if the bud does not grow at first it may be quickly swallowed up by growth of the rootstock. Since you are grafting to a rootstock, a bark graft might be a better option: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHbWmJyFqNWNnqM

[@MegaPoxie]

I have trifoliata rootstock shoots forming below the graft on a Mandarin tree. Is it a good idea to take cuttings and later graft other citrus varieties onto it?

[@Fruitmentor]

I would not recommend rooting suckers. They would have any disease that the source tree might be infected with. Also it is pretty difficult, will take longer, and will give a less vigorous rootstock than if you bought an inexpensive tree for your grafting.
