Default Grafting a Texas Grapefruit onto a Blood Orange

Are you inferring apple bud grafting is done in Winter? I do my bud grafting
on apple
trees in late summer (usually August), here in the Midwest. It may be
different in the
warmer climates, but I imagine not that much. Also, I checked the web and
found some
references to things like cleft grafting, etc. for citrus. Although bud
grafting is the more
common technique for citrus, regular grafting can be done, as well. Check
