I guess, is a silly question but how do I know if a tree is crafted? |

If your tree is a grafted tree, you will be able to see a line, and or a curve (bend) in the trunk, about 4-6 inches above the soil line. - Millet |

I noticed my Meyer is crafted but it appear that tit might be multicrafted LOL. I have two fruits on these tree. One is very round on one branch, while the other is bigger and oval. |

Try a Google image search for citrus graft union, or better, "citrus bud union." Notice that the word is "graft" with a "g," not craft. Since the method normally used for most citrus is called budding, the union is often referred to as a bud union. I tried such an image search, and while there are a lot of irrelevant photos, there are also some good ones. |

This site is very clear.
But I meant a picture of Granrey's tree.
