I hope this pic comes through ok. A little blur but, not much. The graft was done on 9/17/10 and was the only one that took out of five seedlings. Not very good percentages, but it's a start.

The stock is from a sweet orange tree seed, unknown variety, and the scion came from a possible persian lime tree. If you notice the upper left leaves, they are still part of the orange tree. Should I cut this off also or what would happen if I didn't?

It's neat when your first graft takes, isn't it? I would definitely cut off all growth of the rootstock so that the tree's energy can be dedicated to the new graft.
