I am wondering what is the best way to graft a bud onto an existing grafted dwarf citrus.

For Example: I have a Dwarf Kaffir Lime from Four Winds that is on Cuban Shaddock rootstock (Yep. That is actually what they use). I want to bud a Marrakech Limetta onto this, but unsure if I should graft below the original graft (Directly to Cuban Shaddock) or above (Directly to the Kaffir Lime which is Grafted to the Cuban Shaddock).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Citrusboy

No, just the kaffir, yuzu & one of their lemons

I am wondering that too. One of this days I'm going to experiment and graft below the graft line.
As far as I know noone has done that here. It is almost always above the graft line. And I went to extreme- I graft at the tip of the branch(es).

I also believe that it can be done but then you are cutting half of the nutrients for the other half. Or if that is not the dominant ,3/4? 1/8?

Joe:
Ahhh! my mistake. I meant to say to graft either T-bud or Majorcan graft to the main root stock and not to a rootstock branch. Yes I did graft to the rootstock branch also. Infact, the trifoliate you gave me has 3 branches growth and I grafted on each branch.

I also noticed that if you exposed the top of the roots (1/4") to the air, you encourage sprouts of the rootstock to take place. That's what I am doing to my liner that I just bought.
On top of my list also is to buy a Lisbon liner so I can graft more citrus on them.
Is that too early for our CRFG scion distribution? When by the way?

Benny, the CRFG scionwood exchange is about the 2nd Saturday of January for dormant scionwood of non-citruses.

For the least lopsided tree, I suggest budding on the top of the tree. Grow how many branches you want of the lower variety and then bud the second. The buds will also force much easier. Buds too low might be very slow to bud or not at all.

I've just budded minneola tangelo to the top of my large ujukitsu sweet lemon tree.

My lopsided sunquat(rootstock and a few low thorny branches), changsha kumquat top, and fairchild mandarin side tree.

Thanks for all the help! I will be a grafting fool as soon as my budwood from UCR gets here...

Ahh, I just got my Lisbon in a 5 gallon can at Home Depot. Very large trunk and very tall and green by 4 Winds.

Lisbon. Supposedly quite tasty for cooking and drinks. My Eureka is good for cooking, OK for drinks. Waiting on my Meyer to ripen right now. Enjoy that Lemon tree!

Good. But that is just a bonus.
The reason why I bought it is it is an excellent host for many mandarins as JoeReal profess. He garfted as many 20 citrus varieties on one Lisbon plant.
It welcomes oranges and mandarins easily on its canopy.
I wonder if it is good also for pomelos.

Mr. Texas.
Thank you for that excellent info.
I am
saving it for future reference.

PS:
I just did one Majorcan graft of a Pixie Mandarin to a lisbon lemon on top of the canopy one of the most active branch on 5 26 06.
