- Crazy About Citrus" is a series chronicling our connection with citrus.
In this episode:
The reveal on how we did on our first grafting attempt.
As an avid citrus collector, we will reach a point where it is necessary to attempt to acquire the skill of grafting plants. The reason for this is that more varieties of citrus exists in bud wood form than can be purchased as trees. In order to add rare citrus varieties to our collection we must now try our hand at grafting. On March 7th, we recieved bud wood from the Citrus Clonal Protection Program. Because of the Huanglongbing disease that is terminal to citrus trees, it is necessary to acquire bud wood from certified sources as a measure to contain the spread of the disease.
The bud wood received are:
'California Rojo' navel orange
'Boukhobza' blood orange
'Melogold' grapefruit
From the nursery we purchased two grafted citrus trees to use as root stock. On the 'Cara Cara' navel orange tree, we Tbud grafted the "California Rojo' onto the root stock. On the 'Eureka Lemon' tree, we cleft grafted the 'Boukhobza' onto the Eureka scion. A back up Tbud graft was placed on the root stock. With success of the cleft graft, the Tbud back up is no longer neccessary. The Tbud graft of the 'Melogold' grapefruit on the last tree was not successful.
Special thanks and acknowledgement to Dan Wiley and the fruitmentor UA-cam channel for his work and sharing of information used to graft our trees.

Thank you sir🙏 I love citrus fruits & citrus trees 🌸🌼🌷🌹🌸🌼🌷🌹🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
Great job on the video and on the grafting!!!
Thank you, Dan, and thank you for the helpful videos and information found on your channel and website.
Dan u also making nice videos,.._😊😊
Dan pls tell me ...
It takes how many months for first blooming. Approximate??? I grafted a lemon on 25 Aug 2019 but till today means on 19-1-20 it doesn't produce flowers or fruits...what should I do...?
Merci beaucoup pour ces précieuses explications .
Great video . I'm about to do my own .
Will check out your other videos .
Very cool! Wishing you lots of success!
Very nice information
A jewellers saw is great for cutting thick dead wood or trunks.
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the INFO
Thanks you’ve inspired me to start grafting
Right on! Grafting is a key that opens doors of varieties that are difficult to nearly impossible to procure. also, having a multigraft plant is nice too.
Loved it ! So great to see the awesome success with the grafting!
Thanks! I didnt mention it but this is a game changer for me. Now I can feel comfortable about planting my trees in the ground. We talked about this before-- I had reservations about planting because I wasnt sure if/when I would move. :) Now I can plant with confidence and take cuttings with me to grow new trees with if I move.
Never Enough Dirt I agree, this is definitely a plus and confidence about planting in the ground. 😊
Isn't it 'Apical Dominance' and not Atypical dominance?
Btw, cool grafts 😁
Unfortunately, the Huanglongbing is heading north from LA basin area. And it is spreading (not surprisingly) exactly along the highway 5 corridor. "The 5" for you LA people.
Useful video! Much appreciated!
Such a shame this HLB is. Otherwise, citrus is such a low maintenance tree. Good thing we still have good old avocado that can be grown here with little worry about pests. ;D
LOL, yup. We take "The" # freeway whenever we need to get around California. :D
Thanks, glad to hear that about this video.
thank you for information 👍 good Jobs 💚
Nice video
And interesting choice of music toward the end lol
haha. I tried a different genre. I knew you would notice!
Very interesting. Seems difficult. I bet the reward will be worth all your efforts.
Yeah, I bought a cara cara orange and they were $3.00 a piece. I wish I could grow oranges here but we have greening disease here in FL. No citrus tree's for me. Janice
Hi, Janice. Sorry to hear that. I hope they figure out a cure for citrus greening soon so that you can grow citrus. Fortunately or unfortunately, we are only in quarantine and can grow them (but not without a lot of worry). --brian

Wow you expert, thanks for sharing . I saw another way to grow citrus root from its leaves in sand . is it for real? Is the sockets make a good rootstock, I want to graft pomelo scion onto grapefruit suckers. Do you think it takes longer to see new sprout if your scion is too long.
The plant world is pretty amazing and anything is possible. That said, propagating citrus from leaves in the sand (not tissue culturing) seems unreal to me. The fastest way to get fruit from any kind of citrus propagation is to graft onto a tree that has established roots.
From my experience, it is best to follow best practices and use a scion that has no more than 5 buds. When the scion branches out, it is better to have fewer. In some cases, I have had to remove or cut back scion branch growth.
I'm not sure why but my citrus tree totally ignores Atoptical dominance. It just shoots buds everywhere on the branch, even with the budwood method.
UCR my alma mater!
UCR is a great school. Me, I am an anteater. ZOT!ZOT!ZOT!
have you grafted Dekopon? my brother grafted it onto our mature acidless lime tree in 2020. by far it is one of the most productive and vigorous of any of our citrus. i'm in west covina btw
First time hearing about the Dekopan. Sounds awesome. It looks similar to the Ponkan; a type at is gaining popularity. I will have to look into grafting these in the future. Thanks for the heads up! West Covina, cool. You're in prime citrus climate! :D
@@neverenoughdirt Dekopon is Sumo mandarin's original name. i want to graft ponkan but i already have too many varieties on a single tree lol. And i dont know if the CCPP still has any dekopon available.
@@randomguy2246 did not know it is also Sumo. Too many grafts on one tree, that is a good problem to have! Lol
With the bud that survived the grafting but didn't sprout, have you tried cutting into the bark above the grafted bud to spur growth?
I hadnt thought of that. It is now two years later and that bud is still present. It is now a very interesting feature and gives us a couple of options. One being your suggestion. The other is to awaken it by removing apical dominance.
You could have air layered the top of the tree instead of breaking it this way you get two trees air layering breaks atypical dominance and causes the Bud to grow while air layering gives you a new tree also
why can't you have a multigraft with budding?
Where could I purchase the scion wood for the citrus you used?
I am a California resident and I purchased the budwood from the Citrus Clonal Protection Program. CCPP will ship outside of CA but not to all states. Also note, they have drastically increased prices since.
Could you not have just ring barked or notched above the graft union? Wouldn't that have done the the same thing?
I believe you are correct about girdling to create the apical dominance affect.
Hi, I'm your new subscriber. I wanted to know what rootstock should I use to graft Blood Oranges ?
I have a Pumelo, Flame Grapefruit and Valencia rootstocks. Can you kindly suggest ?
I am gonna order buds from CCPP into India 🇮🇳
You can graft blood oranges onto the rootstock you have. I would match a blood orange to a Valencia as they are the closest in type.
It takes how many months for first blooming. Approximate??? I grafted a lemon on 25 Aug 2019 but till today means on 19-1-20 it doesn't produce flowers or fruits...what should I do...?
it takes about a year before blooming. different trees and conditions will affect the time. it is about two since since the video and the tree has fruit now.
I have to watch this again to technical
heh, I could have done a better job on that part. Actually I tried, lol. Had a hard time yesterday getting the brain in the right gear. I spent so much time on a million takes. I also trashed a garden tour video.
Where do you get those rootstocks?
I purchased citrus trees from a big box home improvement store to use as rootstock. If you are in California or in a place where there is a citrus quarantine, you will need to drive outside of the quarantine area to find citrus trees. The other rootstock(s) are ones that I grew from an orange seed off our family tree.
Have you gotten both fruit?
Maybe later this year! I have been admiring the trees the last couple of days because of the number of blossoms on them. I will post a video update soon.
But I suppose that cleft grafting is much better than budding
Generally, yes. One advantage of the bud graft is that it is easier to achieve success.
After how much day one can remove plastic tape from v cleft graft...?
I done v graft on lemon before 17days ago can I remove plastic to see it is joined or not .?
It is best to keep the tape in place for at least a few months. You'll know if the graft was not successful when the budstick dries out. When successful, the buds will push out. Good luck!
@@neverenoughdirt how can I see branch is dried or not because I also wrapped tightly whole graft branch with grafting polythene..
If I not remove tightly wrapped polythene how can new shoot grow from grafted branch, I grafted 17days ago can I remove polythene to see it is succesed or not...
Assuming grafting polythene is the same material as parafilm wax, the technique is to stretch the tap over the bud. Stretching thins out the tape and allows the bud to push through. If you didnt do that, my understanding is that the bud is strong enough to push through the tape. At 17 days, I would wait another 15 more days before removing the tape.
I should clarify, I would not remove the tape unless I thought that the graft has failed. It is best to leave the tape as the buds will push through. The tape will eventually weather and break down.
How old is your rootstock
I purchased this and my guess is a least 4 years old.
How did you order the bud wood.? Cheers

*For anyone outside of California:
"The CCPP exists primarily to support the California citrus industry. Requestors from interstate or overseas needing small amounts of budwood are encouraged to first contact the USDA-ARS National Clonal Germplasm Repository for Citrus & Dates
(NCGR), which has the specific mission of supporting qualified research
and certification programs and other parties with small quantities of
pathogen-tested materials. The Repository may be contacted via e-mail
