Default Citrus grafts

Last My a field of lemon trees was skin-grafted with navel oranges, and it
will be producing oranges in two years
..
A bergamoto, has be grafted to produce large fruits.

Clementins without seeds have to be repoduced by grafting (normally). A
citrus tree should be grafted in crescent moon, April or May.

In a fig tree grafted with four kinds of figs the correct order is: early
breed (early producing should be in the east side of the tree, and late
crops in the west side, here is a fig tree grafted with more than six knd of
figs,which means it has figs from July to Novembre. The grating of a fig in
skin in June, and by "samples" in January...

Eventually the stronger breed, if not taken care, with "kill" the others
since it will request more from the "foot".

In a bonsai magazine, a few month ago there was an article on how to graft
pine trees, of course with pictures. Next year I will be experimenting with
pines

I received the following from an author in New Zealand. Maybe some of you

can
give a more definite answer.
From
I am a New Zealand novelist and my third novel is
about to be published. In it I refer to a graft hybrid citrus
tree created by one of my characters, an American
orange-grower of the 1890s. He creates a tree that
produces both oranges and lemons. I am very much
hoping you might be able to tell me whether, in theory,
this is possible!
