Heres a few photos. I will add a tutorial to this when I have more time.

First photo is of a very rare Variegated C. Sinensis I cleft grafted to swingle rootstock.



This is a small budstick JoeReal sent me of Variegated Cara Cara Navel. The buds were too small to T-Bud so I tried the cleft graft & the buds are now breaking out (Also on swingle).



I would also like to thank Ned for the cleft grafting lessons.

I see a lot of people prefer t graft, but for my small sized lemon and avocado tree I grew from seed. Would this method be the best?

I forgot to ask, if you used a Grafting wax to seal the top part of the scion you used? Also, do you have to cut the top of your scion that you use, or could you use one that shows growth at the very tip? I see that the scion tip on the plant you grafted here looks like it was cut off. Is this something that must be done or does it just help produce new growth faster?
