I feel like your property value just went up with this tree/s 🥰
My friend's, not mine.
Oh my God this amazing tree
Yes!
Always love your content! Very calming and informative. Only criticism is that I want more!
Then I shall try and make more. I couldn't tell... is your interest of the plant videos? specifically grafting? the fish videos too? or all?
Very cool. Thanks for sharing
You bet! :-)
I just started a yuzu, cocktail gf, navel, pearl tangelo and meyer lemon dwarf cocktail tree. 2x each graft to be safe. Kumquat is a great idea.
fun stuff!
@@kaimukibackyard148 The triple lemon GF and tangelo still going. Yuzu GF still going this is my bike channel but thought I would update. rooting store bought clemintine stems now and growing coffee cuttings.
That’s so cool, thanks for sharing
You bet
I have guppies, a project that's been going 2 years. I also have a small hydroponic garden, mainly herbs. Allot of your vids have influenced my selection process. Now just working on getting more consistency in offspring. In two years I have only had two guppies presenting deformities which I'm happy with.
Sounds like your endeavors are working out wonderfully!
I wish I had a cocktail fruit tree!
:-)
great video, great project.
yup, I agree!
Cool. I need one of those multi fruit trees!
You'd do well with a tree like this.
It will also look great in your backyard! :)
Exelente!!
Love your content 👍
:-)
I've been waiting for this. Waiting also for guppy updates! 🐟🐟🐟🌱
Guppy updates coming...
@@kaimukibackyard148 nice. Have you ever tried crossing guppies before other than your blue and red guppies?
That is so cool
:-)
You have a cool friend!
Yup!
I want to do that with a 5 year old lemon tree I have in a 10 gallon pot. I already started with a Cara Cara orange graft to it and 2 variegated lemon cuttings. Want to add a mandarin, Persian Lime, Washington Naval, Smith Blood orange and Meyer Lemon to it. The tree itself has never produced any flowers or fruit. But so far my grafts that I have on their so far are still green.
I've experienced that too-- graphs staying green without flushing new leaves for a very long time.
Aloha from Ak, well done video on multiple grafting on citrus tree. The mapulehu and white pirie grafted onto Rapoza mango tree are flowering well. The nishikawa grafts on the haas are all flowering. Mahalo again
Awesome to hear! You're a good grafter. Thanks for update. Are the Hass flowering as well? I helped a friend of a friend graft another tree with Nishikawa in Kailua. Most scions took too, so I am told. Will need to check on these in coming weeks.
Both haas and nishikawa flowering, hopefully will fruit this yr
Thankyou 😃
You're welcome 😊
On recommended rootstock for citrus in the tropics: The tree depicted in this video is my tree. It was a gift from friend who purchased it as a grafted Honey Tangerine only from Frankieʻs in Waimanalo. Since then, I purchase rootstock specifically for tropical environments such as Carrizo, C-35, Macrophylla or Volk.
Are you using rough lemon ? I would like to have your opinion on it since you're living in a tropical region
Aloha
@abdoalraimi4424, if you want to ask @stevesue3593 more specifics about his grafting, might I suggest posting your questions under this video: Project Lemon Tree: Jefferson Elementary's Story, th-cam.com/video/klkOP31pIv8/w-d-xo.html
(You don't need to watch the video). This way, he'll get the notification so he can post a reply. Thanks.
Yess! So Awesome!! I plan on doing this too but wasn't sure which rootstock to use. I have a non fruiting lime tree for years, wonder if I can use that for my kumquat and Meyer lemon. I love the idea of kaffir and will add that. Thanks for the video.
You are very welcome!
Im trying to do this. I have a 5 yr old lemon tree or scion. But finding a khafir lime is difficult
Nice
:-)
How long did the grafts take to start fruiting? I'm starting my grafting project and had some successes, but I am curious on how long does it take to fruit.
Most of the strains began flowering and fruiting within the year. However, if you want the branch to thicken up quicker, best to pinch off the flowers for the first year and let the graft become thicker for strength. Maturing fruit becomes heavy.
@@kaimukibackyard148 Thank you for the response. Grafting is very fun and addicting. I hope other people try it out too.
It has been my dream to create a tree like this but I live in Sweden so weather is a bit of an issue
I understand
What time of the year can you start grafting is it early spring? Doug
Here in Hawaii, anytime.
I was wondering if you’d thing that it’s worth it to grow a cocktail citrus tree indoors in zone 5?
It's a judgement call. Hard to say.
hey i have grafted lemon,orange and grape fruit in one citrus tree...but grape fruit is growing very rapidly.how to manage growth of all the grafted sion in similar way??kindly reply...
I don't know. Prune it more. That's about all I can think of for now.
I live in Kapahulu and have a few citrus varieties but I struggle with aphids. They seem to love my trees especially the tangerines. Your friends tree looks extremely healthy with no aphids making the leaves curl. Neem oil doesn’t seem to be helping. Any tips?
Sorry, I don't have any tips. Could be a very localized thing. As in once found, the aphids exploit your tree's new leaves. If your tree is big, you may just want to use one of the pesticide sprays for fruit trees.
Sir, I've got plenty lime trees about 450trees so I wanted to graft some of the trees with oranges. Is it possible?
I believe it would be possible. Based on my friend who grafted and now has grafted branches bearing fruit of the following: Meyer lemon onto Naval Orange, and Tahitian Lime onto Naval Orange. That video is also posted on this channel. Also, I have recently grafted Meyer lemon onto Kaffir Lime. And I've grafted Tahitian lime onto Kaffir lime.
Yes its possible.
as far as I know all citrus can be grafted to each other. but if you put a larger variety onto a smaller root stock it can be too weak to support the fruit and break the branch.
Awesome only if fruits or lemons could grow here if probably have a few but it's cold here.
Lemons have small root to canopy ratios (typically 1:3), so you can grow in pots, indoors.
Cool! I like your other multi grafted mango as well! Hey I live up in Palolo, can you tell me where I can buy grafting tape near Kaimuki? Checked Ko'olau farmers the other day but no luck..
Yes, haha, I was in search too and Koolau didn't have any. I found the green plant tie tape at Lowes Iwilei. It's hanging on the wall outside the store in the greenhouse with the plants. Was something like $3.99 for the roll. I also found fluorescent pink tape, sold as surveying or marking tape, with a slight stretch without adhesive, at Ross in the little area where they sell hand held tools, doorknobs, etc. Was like $3.00 for a roll. Comes and goes though.
@@kaimukibackyard148 oh right on I'll go look there then! Thanks for the quick response Mahalo mahalo! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Can we graft orange as scion on top of pomelo which will be rootstock?
I believe yes-- based on my friend having done the reverse: has now successfully grafted pomelo onto this tangerine stock since my making this video.
Hi KBY, that was a very interesting tree for sure. I have a Meyers lemon tree in a container growing well and I pruned it last year following instructions for container growing. I am wondering if you know what kind of fertilizer I should be using as my tree (grafted) does not fruit but just grows. It is not a very tall tree as I kept it low as instructed for containers.
I don't know what kind of fertilizer is best. You might have to research this. I'm curious though what size pot did you plant the Meyer lemon tree in?
@@kaimukibackyard148 I just measured and it is 14" ID and 12" tall. I used the incorrect word in describing the tree, grafted is what your friend did I think it is air laid or something to that nature. I just use a balanced 16 type of fertilizer,
That's my tree in Kaimuki Backyard's video. I use 6-6-6. Any citrus or palm tree fertilizer is fine. Follow manufacturer's instructions, but I do once March, Jun and Sep. Good luck!
Hi Steve, thanks for the info!
Sorry PCfitter, somehow your reply didn't register on my notification and I missed it. Anyway, I see that my friend and neighbor, whose tree this is, chimed in.
SS, mahalo for fielding this question and moderating. Appreciated anytime.
What's the main rootstock ? Is it flying dragon trifoliata ?
Also I wanna know If these drafts were bedded on an interstock in the middle
I'll need to ask my friend who this tree belongs to.
@@kaimukibackyard148 thanks, I didn't expect you to respond lol
Haha. Please see the new comment from that my friend posted just above yours. He posted a reply as a brand new comment (not in response to yours): On recommended rootstock for citrus in the tropics: The tree depicted in this video is my tree. It was a gift from friend who purchased it as a grafted Honey Tangerine only from Frankieʻs in Waimanalo. Since then, I purchase rootstock specifically for tropical environments such as Carrizo, C-35, Macrophylla or Volk.
Sorry, he didn't address the "interstock" part. What does "interstock" refer to? I don't mean to take up your time explaining. I can also do some websearching on my own. Or if you have off-hand a ready resource URL, please send.
@@kaimukibackyard148 I understand your question regarding interstock cause there is little info online about it, interstock means the part of the tree that comes between the rootstock and the other grafted branches, for example if a c35 was the rootstock, then a flying dragon was grafted on it then valcencia orange was grafted on the flying dragon, in the case the flying dragon that's between the the valencia orange and the c35 is the interstock
Hey !!!! I have Red Female guppy and green,rainbow lace,black cobra males but the male fry looking more like their mother.... Is there any possibility to only acquire genes from mother rather than father???????
Fry inherit genes from both parents, how they express themselves is often the surprise, and hard to predict.
My dream
:-)
How to imcrease the guppy fry birth rate
You can't do anything. It's basically once a month.
Name of the root plant plz reply
As the original tangerine plant was a grafted tree purchased from a nursery, we don't know the strain name for the rootstock.
Mahalo!!!!!!! Pehea 'Oe
Mahalo!
I tried this. First attemt was horrible with 0% success. 2nd time was a little better with 25% of the graft taking off. 3rd attempt was 60% successful. Now I'm at 80%
Same for me when I started grafting with mangos and avocados. Our experience seems to be common. Practice makes perfect.

First commer

Would you say that posting videos on TH-cam is profitable?
For me, it is not. There are many reasons for this, but my earnings are very small.
Thanks I too was thinking about starting a TH-cam channel on a different topic. I am a student and I wanted to make some money. I am still figuring out the monetary aspect.
Man, talk about a Franken fruit tree
LOL
