It depends upon your weather. I have written an article that will help you to figure out the best time for your climate: www.fruitmentor.com/grafting-citrus-trees-best-time
I just saw grafting of tree on 5 min craft. I thought o was just going to do it but then decided to watch a video. I didn't know any of this and that it could be a risk to my tree. I was very interested in a tree with both lemons and oranges. We can't cut down that lemon tree like you did. It supplies us with lemons and is very precious to us.
Your video is so well done that I’m compelled to subscribe. You are very thorough. Thanks for taking the time to make this video and sharing this information.
Such a Fantastic Job of instructions with Video! I'm in San Antonio, Texas and have a variety of Lemon Trees growing including my favorite "Valley Lemons". I have two older Lemons trees in the ground (approximately 6 years old) that haven't given me any fruit. I'm going to try your method. I have a lemon tree (Variety unknow as it grow wild) that grows Lemons almost the size of a grapefruit. Everyone freaks out on them and they smell an taste delicious! I'm going to try and graft this species this spring.
Hello sir are you fine i am Algérie and I'm still subscribed to your video please sir in what month we practice the method T budding for citrus fruits thanks
I got a mail order lemon tree that had a broken piece. The piece was just a green shoot but decided to use hormone growth anyways. It stayed green for a month or two with nothing to show, then boom growth! Anyways thank you for the grafting lesson, quite impressive.
Great video, excellent grafting. I just read below where this person asked what is the best time to graph, i can tell you this, from my experience the best time to graft and be 98 % successful is right after the plant is coming out of dormancy, once you the plant starts producing new buds, go graft crazy. To do a successful graft play attention to what you are doing and protect that graft. April is a great time to do it, i just grafted two apple trees successfully. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! That works well for most types of fruit trees. Citrus is a little different and temperature is important. I explain in detail in this article: www.fruitmentor.com/grafting-citrus-trees-best-time
Wow i just learned to germinate my lemon seeds last week my tree.just sprouted now.i know how to graft now i gotta figure what to graft with ..............gardening is sooo healing
What do you mean by micro budding? I have published one video on shoot-tip grafting which would seem to fit the definition of micro budding: th-cam.com/video/Q1dEG3aQa7E/w-d-xo.html I'm guessing that you meant something else, though. Did you mean just regular budding to a small rootstock and not necessarily under a microscope? I'm about to work on a video and that is what I was thinking of making. Thank you for the suggestion!
Hi, I’ve been watching your videos to learn how to graft and this technique has worked and successfully took. I did three grafts onto one rootstock. Two took and I’m not sure if I can let the two grafts grow? Should I cut one off and only let the other grow? Thank you
We have a lemon tree in our garden. Maybe you know that in winter twigs small branches and leaves are cut from tree. But the whole branches were cut down so only trunk remained. I'm not sure maybe almost all branches were cut off. The tree was supposed to grow it's branches leaves and lemon back but it didn't. Can you please tell why. Those lemons were really precious since there are not good lemons here
I enjoyed your video and then I T-Bud grafted New Zealand lemonade to both Seville sour orange and US897 and I have one on C35. when they fruit can I expect differences in taste from 1 tree or the others.
Thank you. I am glad that you enjoyed the video. I think it is possible that there could be slight differences between the fruits from your three trees. They will probably be very similar, though. Please let me know how they turn out when they fruit. I would expect that the fruit from the three would all be good if you have the right climate.
Good afternoon and thank you for the great video series you have provided. I am just starting out in grafting and have received cuttings from the CCPP today. I live in Phoenix and I'm grafting to an existing lemon tree. I'm using improved Meyer and Th eNZ Sweet lemon. Any suggestions of the type of graft I should use? Thanks in advance!
You're welcome! The type of graft will depend upon how big of a branch you want to graft to. If you are grafting a big branch, you could try the patch bud. Cleft grafting might be a good choice if the scion is about the same size as the branch.
Sometimes the bud can bloom right away and you get a flower instead of a new branch. In this case break off the flower. It is more typical to see blooms the next year at the normal flowering time in the spring.
Thank you nice video ! now I understand why the bud of my tree (avocado tree) does not start! it's still green with a little bud. I have not yet broken the trunk above the grafted bud ... because I told myself that it is he who would raise the sap and spread it in the tree ... and we must preserve it until the bud start! But your video showed me that I was wrong Thank you !
Hello! One of the best chanels and website on this topic, keep up the good work and thanks for sharing all this knolage! But is posible to obtain fruits from a citrus tree without graftig? Thanks!
Thank you! It is possible to get a citrus tree to fruit from a seed, but it usually takes many years. You man enjoy this article: fruitmentor.com/breeding-growing-citrus-from-seed
Your video is very clear. How many days would you leave the grafts wrapped in the vinyl tape? I live in Florida and by mere chance got 3 lemon trees from seeds I had thrown into the compost bin. I do not want to throw them away hence trying to graft them. Right now they are less than a foot tall. When should I graft them?
Thank you. I normally leave them wrapped for three to four weeks. Here is an article that I wrote on timing: www.fruitmentor.com/grafting-citrus-trees-best-time
I think it's very useful for students how to care the environment especially how to keep some kinds of plants, student do not buy plant and they bring them to their school , but The students must know how to make new generation of a plant, thee process of being a plant, thanks for the video
Hello, thank you for the great videos. I have a question regarding grafting two different citrus trees. I have been attempting to graft my Meir lemon and blood orange trees together to get both fruits from one tree. I have had no success. Is this possible and if so what method would you suggest?
I have successfully grafted an apple tree on my garden thanks to your videos. May I ask you a question? I've been thinking to try grafting several lemon trees which I train in bonsai-like style. Which type of grafting is the least noticeable and better heals over the time? I'm going to use buds from the same tree of course. Greetings from Russia!
Thank you! I am glad that you have found the videos helpful! I think a whip graft would be the least noticeable for your situation, but it may be a bit more challenging. But if you are doing bonsai, I bet you are up for it! With enough time any sort of scion graft will heal nicely and become harder to notice, but the graft union is usually still visible to some degree depending upon the difference between scion and rootstock. For example after a few years my bark grafts and cleft grafts can be hard to notice. But if you are growing in a pot I guess it may take more time and a whip graft may be the best.
My question is I have a lemon tree and have had it 3 or four years well last year it bloomed like crazy but we didn't get the first lemon .Now my question is when it blooms again would it be a good idea to cut off limbs that have no blooms ?
No, just leave it alone it should do it's thing. Just for the heck of it next time it blooms get a very soft small brush and pollinate it yourself. Look videos on TH-cam on how to pollinate a plant.
ive been growing a lemon tree from a store bought lemon since 2015. i have yet to see flowerd or fruit, i hsve tons of thorns, ive beeen deciding to graft from a 222 year old meyer lemon tree. Should i wait a few more years to see if it blooms? any information or advice is greatly appreciated
Where do you live? Where do you intend to grow the tree? Outside or in a container? The 222 year old Meyer lemon tree seems doubtful because Meyer brought it back from China in 1908: web.archive.org/web/20210122223501/citrusvariety.ucr.edu/citrus/improvedmeyer.html The variety that Meyer brought back had citrus diseases that were later removed. A tree from a store-bought lemon could also have diseases: th-cam.com/video/ec1Rxxmg3YI/w-d-xo.html
@@Fruitmentor im growing it from a seed. Just was curious if it would produce fruit eventually. It grows outside in summer and brought inside for winter.
Growing it in a pot would make it difficult to get it to fruit. The tree has to grow quite a bit to make it possible. It can take many years for a seedling citrus tree to bear fruit even if planted in the ground. Even if your tree eventually fruited the fruit might be terrible. If you live somewhere where it is too cold to grow citrus outside, you could probably graft your tree without worrying too much about spreading diseases.
Grafting to a rootstock has many advantages and I would expect a higher yield. Propagating by rooting cuttings is out of favor these days. Some factors are explained in this video: th-cam.com/video/JAAe8TnP3fQ/w-d-xo.html
I have a 15 foot tall grapefruit tree that was killed by a freeze and its never produced since . I was considering cutting it down to the ground and letting it grow a few new branches so i can graft kumquat onto it , but im wondering if it would take? I just hate to waste a perfectly good big root stock
The question on pesticide is a complex one. I made a video with an entomologist where we talked about some of the issues with pests on citrus: th-cam.com/video/9YkvD0u3aJQ/w-d-xo.html Lately I have been fertilizing my trees with fish emulsion and they are doing well with it.
@fruitmentor Thanks, very helpful informations!! 😉 Could you please make a video explaining how to choose the right bud or scion for the grafting? I think the biggest problem of a beginner when he's in front of the plant is how to choose them. 🤷🏻♂️😅 Thanks!
Hi, i have a healthy and fully grown grapefruit tree and an orange three that is hardly growing. Will it work if i t-bud the orange to a small branch on the grapefruit tree? Thanks
I would recommend against that. If the problem with the orange tree happens to be citrus disease, you might end up infecting your grapefruit tree and harming its growth. Proper fertilization is very important for citrus, so without photos my first thought is to make sure that you are fertilizing the orange tree well.
You're welcome! I moved the tree to a shady area for a few weeks to avoid the direct sunlight that might dry out the bud. Sometimes I find it helpful to cover the grafts with aluminum foil while healing.
My future son-in-law just purchased a house. There is a root stock tree about 6-8 feet tall with multiple branches. Growing from this root stock is an obviously grafted section which appears to be a satsuma tree, with green fruit on it at present. The small satsuma section (2-3 feet tall) is dwarfed by the rest of the root stock. Would it be possible to graft more satsumas or some lemons to this same root stock? Whether that is done or not, should the root stock tree be cut away from the small fruit tree portion? When and how drastically? We are in south Louisiana, where satsumas are a fall staple.
You could graft to that branch, but I would recommend pruning it off. I have tried grafts like that and my observation is that it tends to result in more rootstock suckers. So I think it is better to prune it of. One of these escaped me until it was quite large because the leaves were similar to the grafted variety and I pruned it all off drastically. If you want to add other varieties to your tree, you can add them to the satsuma portion.
I am technical but this is a whole new world... I just ate a lemon fruit and it's seet I let be in the dark within a damp paper within a zip lock back. Once there was a root coming out I planted it...
hi . doing good job. thankgul to u. can u clarify in detail about lemon grafting or budding? my 1st Question is that.. in grafting should we collect or use cutting from another plant or the same plant? i understand that grafting is done so that plant which is not giving fruit will start giving fruit after grafting or budding? 2nd if we paste same plant cutting during grafting however it is unable to grow lemon so after grafting it will start to grow fruit? need a detail clarification to remove a general confussion.
Great info. My lemon tree leaves have a high percentage of curling and yellowing. I have noticed white flies. Have tried insecticide, spinosate (sp) and alternating neem oil on a weekly basis. No real improvement. Any videos on insect control and fertiliation?
Thank you! I did a couple of videos that included Q&A on insects and fertilization: th-cam.com/video/9YkvD0u3aJQ/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/d4JwPijoAIg/w-d-xo.html
please help me my lemonade grows Y form the other left grows taller w/out lemon but the right side it started to give lemon. is it possible that i can graft my lemonade w. ur techniques?. please reply
I am not sure I understand the question, but it sounds like you may have a rootstock sucker. I would recommend removing rootstock suckers. For grafting extra varieties to existing trees I would recommend grafting to the fruiting variety rather than to a rootstock sucker.
Yes. It is OK to get it to branch out. Often citrus trees will grow taller than we need if we do not prune them. Many people prefer to prune them so that they can reach all of the fruit without a ladder.
Ethanol would be better than nothing, but it is not ideal. Chlorine bleach is preferred. You can read more about it in this article: www.fruitmentor.com/sterilizing-grafting-tools
Hello sir my citrus tree got a root shock due to replantation but the issue is the plant is not growing any more it's 2monthts since I replanted it....... Plz help

Hi mate thanks for your videos just subscribed. IAM in a trickle area in North Queensland Australia, probably comparable to Florida in the US. My question is do I just grow the first tree from a seed then graft that tree? IAM trying to grow pawpaw lemon lime water melon to name a few
Thanks for the subscription! For citrus you can order seeds and scions from Auscitrus. I understand that Queensland has the nasty stem pitting tristeza disease that I mentioned in the following video, so it is important to use the certified cuttings from Auscitrus for grafting citrus: th-cam.com/video/ec1Rxxmg3YI/w-d-xo.html I don't know about growing pawpaw, but I would suggest looking for trees at local nurseries.
I used carrizo for this graft. I gave more detail in the article here: www.fruitmentor.com/grafting-lemon-trees The rootstock will depend upon the lemon variety. Eureka lemons, for example, are not compatible with some orange rootstocks.

If you want to add other varieties to your tree, you can add them to the satsuma portion.
@@Fruitmentor Thank you so much! Is there a particular time of year to cut it back or just any time?
@@my2centstoo You're welcome! I think it should be OK to do this any time. Watch out for new suckers coming from the same place.
@@Fruitmentor Many thanks! Will let my daughter's fiance know!
where can I find the grafting scions? thanks

hi . doing good job. thankgul to u.
can u clarify in detail about lemon grafting or budding?
my 1st Question is that.. in grafting should we collect or use cutting from another plant or the same plant?
i understand that grafting is done so that plant which is not giving fruit will start giving fruit after grafting or budding?
2nd if we paste same plant cutting during grafting however it is unable to grow lemon so after grafting it will start to grow fruit? need a detail clarification to remove a general confussion.
The same lemon generate or other type lemon generate???
Very nice video .. which month is best for lemon grafting
Here is an article that I wrote on timing:
www.fruitmentor.com/grafting-citrus-trees-best-time
Can we graft Scion of lemon and that use on azadiracta indica (neem)?
For a graft to succeed the scion and the roostock must be somewhat closely related.
@@Fruitmentor thank u😍
thank you for sharing your knowledge. I want to ask.. how many days can the binding be released?
You're welcome! Around 21-28 days.
How many years it will take time to growing fruits

Great info. My lemon tree leaves have a high percentage of curling and yellowing. I have noticed white flies. Have tried insecticide, spinosate (sp) and alternating neem oil on a weekly basis. No real improvement.
Any videos on insect control and fertiliation?
Thank you! I did a couple of videos that included Q&A on insects and fertilization:

After we graft, where should we keep it for three weeks?
I just move them into the shade where there will not be direct sunlight on the graft.
please help me my lemonade grows Y form the other left grows taller w/out lemon but the right side it started to give lemon. is it possible that i can graft my lemonade w. ur techniques?. please reply
I am not sure I understand the question, but it sounds like you may have a rootstock sucker. I would recommend removing rootstock suckers. For grafting extra varieties to existing trees I would recommend grafting to the fruiting variety rather than to a rootstock sucker.
So its ok to cut the top part of thr lemon tree to branch out? Ive read some thoughts about cutting the top part of the lemon plant
Yes. It is OK to get it to branch out. Often citrus trees will grow taller than we need if we do not prune them. Many people prefer to prune them so that they can reach all of the fruit without a ladder.
Is it ok if it is sterilled with ethanol?
Ethanol would be better than nothing, but it is not ideal. Chlorine bleach is preferred. You can read more about it in this article:

Thank you! I did three weeks for both. Here is the article version with a little more detail:

Can the Grafting Lemon Trees be done on a thin leg less than 1 cm in diameter?
If the diameter of the rootstock is too small for T-budding, you might want to try the chip bud:

Hi mate thanks for your videos just subscribed. IAM in a trickle area in North Queensland Australia, probably comparable to Florida in the US. My question is do I just grow the first tree from a seed then graft that tree? IAM trying to grow pawpaw lemon lime water melon to name a few
Thanks for the subscription! For citrus you can order seeds and scions from Auscitrus. I understand that Queensland has the nasty stem pitting tristeza disease that I mentioned in the following video, so it is important to use the certified cuttings from Auscitrus for grafting citrus:

I don't know about growing pawpaw, but I would suggest looking for trees at local nurseries.
What rootstock variety did you use?
Can use any orange rootstock for lemon ?
I used carrizo for this graft. I gave more detail in the article here:
www.fruitmentor.com/grafting-lemon-trees
The rootstock will depend upon the lemon variety. Eureka lemons, for example, are not compatible with some orange rootstocks.
