- In this video on grafting citrus trees, learn how to graft citrus trees with budwood of larger diameter than the rootstock. The demonstrated technique, the Z grafting technique, is especially helpful in this situation. I have used Z grafting with success to graft new trees and also to add new varieties to existing trees to make multi-variety citrus cocktail trees.

In California, the collection of any citrus propagative materials, including budwood and seeds, from non-registered sources is illegal. Any citrus trees grown or grafted in California must come from source trees registered with either:
(1) The Citrus Nursery Stock Pest Cleanliness Program, administered by the California Department of Food and Agriculture, or
(2) The Citrus Clonal Protection Program, located at the University of California at Riverside.

Appreciate your efforts for our farming community.
It’s an incredible grafting method. Thank you for sharing the new skills. I follow you because I love planting citrus in my yard
You're welcome!
Definitely a good idea to wrap the Scion beforehand to avoid budging the graft Union
I agree. That's a good idea.
I seen your all videos about citrus grafting.. looking nice. your videos are rare. and bundle of thanks for providing eBook in other video..
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I ordered budwood from CCPP and will try to turn a 30 year old grapefruit tree into a cocktail tree. I ordered Tarrocco blood orange, Cara Cara, parent Washington Navel, Late Valencia, Algerian Clementine, Murcott, and Improved Meyer lemon. I will try some Z grafting and bark grafting. Hopefully some grafts will take!
Good luck with your grafting! Those are all very good choices! You chose many of my favorites.
I had a couple of bark grafts take. But none of the Z grafts took. Not sure where I went wrong as some of them bonded but turned brown and dried up. I assume I did a poor job matching the cambium. One question about the bark grafts. The bark graft scion is lemon and it appears to be putting out flowers but has yet to show leaves. Is this common? Should I remove the blossoms or just leave them on the scion?
Такой способ прививки я увидел впервые. Спасибо большое, SUPER!
Можно попробовать тоже))
Interesting grafting technique, it's similar to a side graft, in as much as it's suited to dissimilar sized wood, and offers a large cambium contact. You could add tongues...
Thanks for the helpful video. I wasn't aware that there were sources for disease-free budwood.
You're welcome!
Thanks Dan , very informative as usual , will be trying very soon .
You're welcome! Good luck!
Very clear great information dear ❤
Thank you!

Thank you!
Thank you, I did not now this technique, very smart indeed!
You're welcome! I hope that you find it useful!
Professional quality video just like your others. Thank you!
You're welcome! I am glad that you enjoyed it!
Great vid brother of Earth, saw an intriguing video from India where a citrus, Tea grower cloned fresh cut branches with cut ends dipped in honey for anti bacteria defense.
Thank you! I think better results will be achieved by the use of rooting hormone as shown in this video:
Growing Citrus from Cuttings - Rooting and Grafting Citrus in One Step
This video is very useful for us in India, particularly in south India where there is excellent potential to improve our lemon and orange
gardens.
Our tribal areas, will benefit by introducing some disease resistant varieties of Mandarin orange.Thanks for the useful&reductive video.
You're welcome! I am glad that you liked the video!

Hi, I wanted to know which is the best grafting technique for citrus ?
There are plenty, what's your opinion?
I live in Kentucky where this isn't a problem and I have been using scions from my other citrus trees seed grown and the ones I ordered
I believe that this is OK since you live in a state where citrus trees cannot survive the winter outdoors.
Thats correct I have to bring them inside or I have the option of heating and costly stuff to keep it outside. But on this website let's say I wanted a certain variety would they have it?
Like for example pink lemon or blood orange? Both of which I have but I hadn't previously
Yes. The CCPP has hundreds of varieties available. You can order budwood of interesting varieties that you would have a hard time finding elsewhere. They have the variegated pink eureka lemon and also many varieties of blood oranges.
Oh okay and that link is in the description got it thanks man
what a greate ideas.... the newly method of grafting...
Thank you!
Wow I'm very please & impress with your growing technique. Do you always use the rootstock smaller than the scion? I live in Arizona state. Most months are very warm here at 112 in the summer. When you do the z graph in February, when do you remove the parafilm off the z graph joint to see if it healed. I meant how many months or how tall the new shoot growth so I can remove the rubber band and parafilm? Is whip toung graphing is the same as z graphing? I want to grow pomelo scion on a eureka lemon rootstock. Is lemon rootstock grow stronger & faster than white grapefruit rootstock? Can I use black electrical tape instead of parafilm? Bc I think black electrical tape sticks better
Good video .Thanks.
This guy must really love citrus. I get it. I feel the same way about cherry tree's.
Travis k lol every one and his tree mine is cannabis 😄
Great upload, thanks a lot
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey very nice video, would you please sais is the season for each technics please 🌱
Here's an article that I wrote that explains timing and temperature:
fruitmentor.com/grafting-citrus-trees-best-time
Do you use a homemade spray to sanitize or do you buy it ready made from the store?
hi thanks for the good infornation
You're welcome! I am glad that you found it helpful.
Nice videos man
Thank you!
*z graft* ? ive never tried it, but i like the principles...
i will surely try it. thanks for sharing 👌
Subcribed
Thank you sir
You're welcome!
Give thanks for the knowledge
I like it and try it at home
Thank you!
I live in California and it seems impossible to get parafilm. Any tips?
Very very most important tackek gardnig
Thank you!
what did you spray in the tools? thank you.
I used a product called Clorox Clean up because it has the proper concentration of chlorine bleach. I wrote an article about it here:
www.fruitmentor.com/sterilizing-grafting-tools
In summer season I found kind of white looking caterpillar making a hole in the main trunk of tree' what is that deseas called and suggest some pest control
Is it only the green branches better choice than the brown branches?
Good
Хорошо, когда черенки толстые. А когда они 3-4 мм ? При такой толщине либо окулировка либо в расщеп. Я уже давно использую последний. Но будет толстый черенок буду пробовать ваш способ. Спасибо.
Good bro
👍 GOOD
I have kumquats. Did you manage to reproduce kumquats by rooting, for example, by air layering trees?
Air layering and self rooting is a frequently asked question, so I posed this question to Dr. Georgios Vidalakis of the CCPP and made a video about it. Please see here for the answer:

Eliminate disease means longer citrus plant can live.. Thanks for the video
You're welcome!

thanks dann
You're welcome!
Can I use the same method as a citrus for guavas, Logan, June plum, mangos, and others tropical fruits as well?
I have not tried it yet, but I expect that this method could be useful for those other fruits.
You have the best grafting videos anywhere , learned to graft from this site and the importance of getting scions from ccpp .
I would like to graft Shiranui to Meyer lemon, would lemon rootstock change flavor of mandarin? or should I stick with FD
Thank you! I’m glad that the videos have been helpful! Lemon rootstocks can give disappointing results for mandarins. I tried it and was sorry. The mandarins were terrible and I grafted it back to lemons. I would recommend that you go with FD.
Great video! Will the new growth break through the plastic wrap?
Thank you! Buds should be able to grow through a single layer of parafilm easily. If there are too many layers over the bud or if it is some other material like vinyl tape, then the wrapping must be removed.
Do have any suggestions during the healing time, such as temperature consider, hormone supplement? How to get highly successful?
I have written an ebook with tips that will help you to succeed. You can download it here:
www.fruitmentor.com/GraftingTips
Hormones are not needed when grafting citrus.
I have a tree that has been quarantined I can take bud wood from. If it’s solely for my use, is the CCPP necessary? These trees will be used for fruit production for my consumption.
I made a FAQ video with the answer to that question:
th-cam.com/video/JAAe8TnP3fQ/w-d-xo.html
Here is the specific part of the video:
th-cam.com/video/JAAe8TnP3fQ/w-d-xo.html
Can we grow different variety of mangoes in a single tree?
Yes. That should work fine.
Yes you can
Hello..as I am watching this video got encourage to do the same ti my citrus in the container..my questiob is should I changed the soil in the container because the leaves is going yellow..is it the solution? Pls tell mevif you have other idea I will be happycto follow ..thank you..pls reply
Ótimo vídeo, excelente.
Gracias!
Hi,
I have a question regarding the Bizzaria - Citrus medica + C. aurantium. I'm trying to find some budwood for this peculiar citrus. I can't seem to find it at the CCPP. Is there another source for this budwood? Have you ever heard of this variety of Citrus?
Thanks sir
You're welcome!
@@Fruitmentor long time goes but i am very happy for your reply .
If you had a choice would you use z graft every time for small trees.?
It depends upon the size of the scion. If the scion diameter is large and the rootstock is small, the Z-graft works well. If the scion diameter is small, chip budding may be easier. I prefer to use a larger rootstock if I can.
Hi DAN
EXCUSE MY LATE REPLY IWAS VERY ILL AND IN BAD HUMER
ANYWAY TIHIS VIDEO IS VERY CLEAR BUT I THINK IT'S COMPLICATE LITTLE BIT
HOWEVER I'LL TRY IT AT SUMMER
BUT BARK GRAFTING FOR ME IS THE BEST BECAUSE IT SUCCESSES WITH EVERY TREE I TRY CHEERIO
I hope that you recover quickly. Good luck with your grafting! This technique is challenging. Bark grafting definitely easier.
Keren banget.....
Super
I noticed that even though you recommended steel gloves at the beginning of the video you did not use them. Are they too bulky - uncomfortable for grafting?
Do you clean your materials with water after you have bleached them? Is the bleach not bad for the plant?
Yes. It is important to get the bleach off of the tools.
Is rootstock gives same yeild as of their parent plant?
Different rootstocks will give different yields. The roostocks also affect the fruit quality, so this is a very complex topic. Some rootstocks that give higher yields will give lower quality fruit. Here is a book on rootstocks that you may enjoy:
citrusvariety.ucr.edu/documents/Bittersrev2.pdf
For this and wedge graft, is it possible to "overtighten" the rubber band? I tend to tighten the rubber as tight as possible in an attempt to maximize cambium contact especially when my cut is not very smooth which is often. I worry though that I may "choke" it.
I never thought about this too much. I have always thought that I shouldn't get them too tight, but maybe they will be OK. I think the most important thing to do is to watch them after they heal and start to grow. You might want to intervene at this stage to make sure that the branch does not become girdled by the rubber band. But beware that the graft can still be fragile.
good video ..for grafting lemon (Meyer lemon) ..any citrus root stock plant will work ? can I use lime plant as root stock?
thanks
Thank you!
I have not tried it, but I expect that a lime tree would work OK for this combination. Here is a good resource on rootstock compatibility:
www.citrusvariety.ucr.edu/links/documents/Bitters.pdf
At the most, how many weeks should the aluminum foil be wrapped? I'm in vancouver and wrapped aluminum on plum grafts late August. Would keeping the aluminum foil help during the winter?
I looked at your weather and it does not appear to be warm enough that the foil would be beneficial now. I would recommend grafting stone fruits in the spring when the buds are starting to break. With citrus it is necessary to graft when the weather is warm for the grafts to heal, but that is not the case with stone fruit. I’d be interested to hear if any of your grafts succeed. If not, try in the spring when it is much easier.
@@Fruitmentor I actually used your bark graft technique to graft 3 different strains of plums to our bing cherry tree end of july to first week of august this year(my bad, i meant late july, not late august as i said previously). It was probably not necessary but the aluminum foil was actually put there to prolong the life of the rubber bands which were breaking down within 2 to 3 weeks when I was grafting in the philippines last year.
The plums grafted late july this year in vancouver was an unknown variety....5 out of 6 took. A week after that batch, i grafted a couple of Italian plum strains which got 2 out of 8 taking and leafing. 3 dried up. Another 3 didn't sprout but the scions still look plump and alive up to now. About half of the italains were, i believe, 2 year old scions so that may have been the reason for the fail and slow take. I will try to update you next spring if any of those survive.
Thanks so much for your great vids!
Does it matter if the rootstock and/or scion is dormant for this technique to work?
I assume that you mean for types of trees other than citrus. It should work fine for fruit trees that are grafted when dormant. For citrus it needs to be done in warmer weather.
can we graft lemon tree and sweet juice lime
I think it will likely work. I grafted several varieties of sweet lime to a Persian lime with good results.
nice
Thank you!
Wonder do they mostly use Meyers, can caviar citrus grow in Florida I wonder, never seen even in botanical gardens.
Finger limes should grow well in Florida and are tolerant of HLB.
Hi
I live in Sudan where the sun and climate is unbelievably hot 46c° is our norm most of te year
I got an adult Limon tree aged 15 year producing coupoiusly all year long . can I graft orange and grape fruit on the same tree? how soon would the graft produce fruits?
MrXulfo yes just do the graft around 80f
Thanks for the great video, do you know anyone that grafts indoor citrus trees in the north? I have a red line and would like to add key lime or mandarins. Thanks
Are you in Canada?
@@Fruitmentor Minnesota zone 4. I have a red lime tree that is doing awesome and a myer lemon that grows a bunch of leaves and then in 2-3 weeks drops them all. Rinses and repeats.
When do you remove the layers of plastic tape and the rubber bands or do you just leave them and let them fall off on their own?
I normally leave them on a long time until they start deteriorating. Sometimes I will take them off sooner if the graft has healed and I think they could be causing a problem (i.e. mold).
Is this as effective for plums?
I have not tried it, but I expect that it would work well for plums.
can anyone tell me when I should attempt my first pruning of a mango tree? (aprox. size and age) thanks!
Eye birds grafting citrus trees
What is the purpose of the little cut on the longer end of the rootstock and scion?
One thing it does is make the next cut easier. It gives a better angle for the knife at beginning of the next cut. It may also help to avoid the knife slipping.
@@Fruitmentor It wasn't stated specifically in the video, but does the next cut have to be above or below this or either way?
❤❤❤
I lost my Swiss Army knife, and looks like you found it!!! Thanks man ... Please return it to me at your earliest convenient opportunity.. Thanks man,, I'm so happy now!!! ;-)
don't worry, it's with me and I take care of it like if it were made of gold LOL...
hypothetically in the case of the less successful graft in your video instead of culling it could you save it by grafting a small piece of bark etc as a bridge. Assume the is very rare scion or other reason. thanks
I think if I had left the second scion on the tree it would have survived but healed more slowly. In this example I had grafted the same variety to both branches with one as a backup so I just cut off the weaker scion.
what graft do you use on a large orange tree that can not be moved and what month do you do this if you live in zone 9
I find that the bark graft works very well for large diameter branches. It is possible to graft more than one scion per branch. This article explains how to figure out the best time:
www.fruitmentor.com/grafting-citrus-trees-best-time
Can you root cuttings with root hormone? My branches are too small to cut and graft.
It is possible. Here is a video that I made on it:
th-cam.com/video/fY0wskA9IGY/w-d-xo.html
I think the cuttings technique is much more difficult than grafting. Here is a grafting technique that works better with small branches:
www.fruitmentor.com/bud-grafting-citrus-trees
can i try it to different tree? like for example mangoe and apple?
I think it would work OK for those, but I have not tried it.
