This is the best video I've seen for this. Thanks! If my plan is to completely remove the previous top of the tree would I graft and then cut the top or cut the top and graft?
But it appears the cambium from the long scion cut is against the white inner wood of the root stock. The cambium to cambium is on the short 45 degree cut
Wrap the buds and all. The buds will break through the grafting tape. I would only do one per branch unless it's a decent sized branch and smaller scions, then you can do more than one.
@@edibles_and_exotics Thanks for sharing, buying a 3year old lemon tree today and will be grafting calamansi here in California. I love Calamansi so i was hoping to go wild and graft lots of scion
@@edibles_and_exotics got a weird lemon plant with 3 root stock all thick. Looks like I'll be able to graft several Calamasi scion on it! Should I cut all the growth on the lemon tree and only keep the root stock? I think this is the proper way
Citrus trees are kind of scarce around these parts. I'm starting over with multiple varieties so they are pretty small. Of course all of mine are in containers.
that's cool I've never done a bark graft before. I have a citrus tree with mexican lime, ruby red grapefruit, and lisbon lemon on it. I just grafted onto it a meyer lemon last week and murcott mandarin and clementine mandarin yesterday. Do you find the citrus grafts take better when the weather is warmer? I haven't done much citrus grafting but I know when I graft mango I get a much higher take rate when night time temps are above 70 degrees
Thats awesome! Bark grafting is super easy, give it a go I'm sure you will have 100% secuss! For citrus, I find the graft unions heal fast when night time temps are above 50°f. The warmer the temps the faster it heals though. In winter they just sit there and don't do much.
i'm happy i have 3 different kinds of citrus so that way i don't get sick of same variety
I totally get sick of the same variety with whatever I grow but with citrus it's so easy to graft I just makes sense.

I'm going to make my own "five alive " here in Ontario Canada!
Nice post a video of it!
Nice, is there an after video to show results ?
Not yet but I will get to it soon.

Do you wrap the scion but leave the Buds unwrapped? Or we cover the buds too? And can you add multiple Scion on 1 branch or 1 scion per branch?

@Pap3rPlanesss it's up to you but remember to trim everything below the graft so all the energy goes into the graft and not lower branches.
