Hi citrom,
Great job with the grafts! Did you follow the bark graft method from Joe? I was just going to post up and ask what method is recommended on young seedlings or young understocks. T-bud? I see most of the grafts done in this thread were done in February/March/April. Here at the end of May is it still an acceptable time to graft? I want to try my first attempt at citrus grafting, but not of the plants i have are that thick(at least not on any of the branches, the main trunk is). I have a lot more reading to do!

You can t-bud anytime the bark is slipping. Cleft & bark grafting can be done almost anytime. The way Joe has shown his barl graft, the bark would also have to be slipping.

Hi Ikailburn,

Yes the method. Maybe, but the heat necessary for the inoculation. Grafts were in the warm room.

Thanks to Joe Real and all of you on this forum for the information on bark grafting. I tried a couple of grafts on persimmon trees a few years ago with no success. After reading the tutorials several times I tried several bark grafts and some cleft grafts, a total of 14 and all budded out and all but one are growing great. The one that died after budding was a persimmon I grafted to a wild cherry, and I guess they are not compatible. The new grafts are growing great and I thank all of you.

I did try some t-budding, but have not been successful with those.

Thanks again

Yet another cleft graft! Nice work on matching the tiny 1 year old stock!

Thank you! My favorite is the crust under grafting.

Yeah, that's a neat example of bark grafting. It seems you've got a green thumb when it comes to grafting techniques. Keep it up!
