I have a lemon tree grown from unknown source (birds,people..) it is as healthy as can be but hasn;t flowered/fruited.I am wondering if it is possible to graft a known variety on too the trunk/branch to produce mandarines or limes etc tree is approx 12 years old and 2 metres tall with a rough trunk diamater of 10 cm. Any help would be very much appreciated.Cheers

Give it a try.
The problem is that you probably have root stock of a less then desireable
strain.

Yes it's possible. You may as well try it as the worst that can happen is
the graft doesn't take. If it works it will not guarantee good fruit but
you may get lucky.
