Just placed the ordered on CCPP thanks to your information. I also found some old time variety that I used enjoyed long ago that is no longer available commercially.
Now that I have a few years of grafting under my belt I have to say that I find the inverted T bud graft to have a lower success rate with citrus compared with the normal T bud graft. When trying to understand why this might be the case I remembered that apple and peach T bud grafters often cut a notch in the bark above the T to interrupt the downward flow of auxins so that the bud will sprout more quickly. This made me wonder if, by cutting the bark (and maybe cambium?) below an inverted T I was impeding the flow of... something? Or if the horizontal cut of an upright T similarly reduced auxin flow and somehow promoted callus growth? All I know is that last year I switched to inverted T and had a much higher failure rate. Food for thought... I'd love to read some science comparing the two methods.
I must admit that my sample size is quite small but the difference in success rates was large. However there could be other reasons why the year I switched to using inverted T I had a lot of failures.
Great videos, very clear instructions. I have an old potted lemon tree I rescued from a garage sale. The trunk has a 2” diameter and grows off to the side, and only grows leaves at the very top. I’d love to graft one or two different varieties onto it, would that be possible?
Hey Fruitmentor. What happens if new branches develop from the original rootstock after the drafting has been completed? Do I need to prune those off or let them grow?
thanks for the video! I have a question re breaking apical dominance, is there an advantage to breaking the stem and bending it over rather than just removing the stem above the graft completely? Cheers! :)
The top part of the plant continues photosynthesis and continues to benefit the plant. The one disadvantage of retaining it is that there is an extra step to remove it later. That is not much of an issue for a hobbyist, but big nurseries sometimes cut off the top at grafting time to eliminate the step and save on labor costs.
I've tried all the different methods with no success. So I decided to try the chip budding method and got 100% success on 7 different citrus grafts. So I would say see what method works best for you and stick to it.
my naval orange tree is around 2 now and is making large buds - but it’s mulch is full of insects and little white lumps. Please advise me on what to do!
Olaaa!!!! Argentino.... si es lindo pero con muchos descuidos!!!!..... el pié y el incherto tienen que ser muy riegados (antes) para el casco se despegar facil i sin desgastos.. el cuchilio muy bueno... etc.... saludos de francia..
I have tried it and would not recommend it for T-buds. The problem is that the bark flaps can lift up and break it and then the graft dies. It may depend upon the product. This problem does not happen with vinyl tape.
Thanks for showing me I might have a new video if my friend comes over on Saturday other then that you can watch more you can ask other people if you want 🌿🌱🍑
Great footage and very clear. I had no idea about diseases. I'm interested in grafting an old Cara Cara tree (from my grandmother's garden) onto an even older orange tree in my backyard. Both in southern CA. Do I need to be concerned if both trees are old and domestically grown without any insecticides? Thanks in advance!
That wouldn’t be a good idea. HLB is spreading in Southern California and because of the Asian citrus psyllids, you have to make the assumption that any tree out in the open might be infected. If you were to do that you might spread HLB into your yard and then it would spread further from there. It is easy to avoid that by ordering certified disease-free budwood from the CCPP.
I have a large Citrus tree that really is a hardy, cold tolerant root stock that survived (it's graft did not). The tree is 12 feet tall. I was wondering if I could graft to branches using the same technique? (Instead of a small potted tree). I imagine the apical dominance might work the same on a branch. So after grafting I would cut the distal tip of the branch off? Any comments greatly appreciated.
Here is a budding technique that I have found works well in this scenario: ua-cam.com/video/_w051zyackM/v-deo.html T budding could also be used, but if the bud does not grow at first it may be quickly swallowed up by growth of the rootstock. Since you are grafting to a rootstock, a bark graft might be a better option: ua-cam.com/video/bEsgiOspZhA/v-deo.html
Thanks for your videos! I just rewatched a couple of them and refreshed my memory about grafting from the CCPP program. I have a question about rootstock since I'm very new to grafting. What rootstock would be best for desert soil with possibly high salinity zone 9a/b?
You’re welcome! Here’s a short paper about rootstocks that you may find helpful: ucanr.edu/sites/ucceventura/files/57694.pdf If you’d be interested in reading a book about rootstocks, here is an interesting one: citrusvariety.ucr.edu/sites/default/files/2022-08/citrus-rootstocks-their-characters-and-reactions-bitters.pdf
hi sir, I am Algerian, I still love your video and I always subscribe to your channel and you deserve it to encourage you even more to teach us the techniques of arboriculture and a question for you that it is us period by grafting on badge for citrus fruits and at what temperature thank you
I live in LV. It's not the right time of year right now; but is it possible when I prune my Meyer Lemon tree next year, that I could grow some of those branches into new trees?
Some people don't follow recommended pesticide and herbicide labels, so resistant varieties of plants and insects develop. In California many previously controllable weeds are roundup resistant. I haven't followed anything about insects except the fleas on dogs that have become frontline resistant. Constant research is being conducted on herbicide combinations and new herbicide development to improve agriculture. Proper application of all ag chemicals is important in all instances to protect the environment and health of the world.
Tried the wedge graft on four branches last year with no takes. Think my temp. was too high. just dropped one of these T-buds in to see if I can make this happen. Lemon root to mandarin bud wood. I`m going in, wish me luck. Thanks fruitmentor
You're welcome. I hate to tell you, but mandarin on lemon may not work well. I tried it myself and got the worst mandarins. The rootstock is very important. Some lemon rootstocks may be OK while others are not.
Hi which season should grafting citrus trees? I plant citrus tree by seed , they are 5-6 years old but that haven’t got fruit yet., which age they have fruit.
In this particular video I replaced the original variety with a new variety, so this tree had only one variety. Grafting can also be used to add multiple varieties to a tree. This video shows an example of that: ua-cam.com/video/_w051zyackM/v-deo.html
Not only do I enjoy your video, it refreshes my memory and gives me the opportunity to have a closer observation of grafting procedures. Thank you!

Very interesting @4:00 that bud growth is encouraged simply by lowering the main, partially severed stem below the buds.
Nice video. I will try to apply your your technique to graph some of my citrus on to Poncirus trifoliata rootstock in the UK.
Thank you!
Ok now teach us how to graft chilis :D! Great video :)
I am watching this for my exam, this type of on-field(practical) knowledge helps a lot.
Very nice
This was the best Video on the subject I have found!!!
Thank you!
Great. Will geatly save costs in my farm

i'm very interesting gardens plants grafting this video very useful thankyou sir
Thanks from algeria
Great demonstration
Thank you!

You’re welcome! I’m glad that you enjoyed it!
Thank you....I Learned something new
Hey Fruitmentor. What happens if new branches develop from the original rootstock after the drafting has been completed? Do I need to prune those off or let them grow?
Yes. Be sure to prune them off. If left to grow they could outgrow your graft and take over the tree!
God bless you!! Good info,
thanks for the video! I have a question re breaking apical dominance, is there an advantage to breaking the stem and bending it over rather than just removing the stem above the graft completely? Cheers! :)

You're welcome! I am glad that you liked the video!
buy the wax grafting tape its tough enough to secure the graft but soft enough for it to grow through
I have tried it and would not recommend it for T-buds. The problem is that the bark flaps can lift up and break it and then the graft dies. It may depend upon the product. This problem does not happen with vinyl tape.
Wow thankyou

Good work too much informative.
Kindly clear the depth of T budding on rootstock and also mention the the thickness of scion stock???
This is best grading sir iam also success
Thank you!
What is the best time for this cutting?

I am grafting a lemon bud onto an mature well developed/fruiting orange tree.
How long will the lemon graft take to fruit?
It depends on the conditions, but you can get fruit as soon as your graft grows out and produces a flower.
@@Fruitmentor Oh ok nice. Because want to graft a lot of different varieties onto the one tree.
Thanks
very good and useful information. Thank you Sir.
You're welcome! I am glad that you enjoyed it!
How can I buy the knife you use, money is not a problem
very useful
dude, your an OG. thanks for this, Ive heard california also has it's own species of thrip or its resistant to certain insecticides. anyway thank you

I plant citrus tree by seed , they are 5-6 years old but that haven’t got fruit yet., which age they have fruit.
The for the education but please I have some worry about how the soil is been mix. Can I have some tips on how to mix the soil.
Good.
