Grafting Oranges onto my Lemon Tree ???
Hi all I have a well established lemon tree. I don;t know what variety it is but it sure produces lots of lemons. I also have a small orange tree - its a Washington Navel. I can take buds or cuttings off that. My question is whether it is possible to graft or bud oranges onto my lemon tree. Has anyone done this? What time of year should I bud or graft? Any tips? By the way I am in Melbourne, Victoria. Thanks Peter --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

It would probably be best to wait until the weather is a bit warmer, but it
really depends on when the budwood is available on the orange tree. There is an abundance of good advice available on the web regarding how and when to graft. Just do a search and you will certainly find the specific grafting info you are seeking. "Peter Berrett" wrote in message u... Hi all I have a well established lemon tree.

My question is whether it is possible to graft or bud oranges onto my lemon tree. It is my understanding that all the citrus trees you buy are actually lemon, orange, lime, etc grafted onto some other citrus stock. At one stage it was common lemon stock as that had the best root growth. You can check this out by looking at availabe stock on sale and see how it has bumps in the stem/trunk. |

There are trees available with various types of citrus grafted onto the one
root stock, so it's obviously possible. My mother did something similar when the branch of her grapefruit was snapped right off. She bound the two parts together tightly with an old stocking & left it for a month or so. "Terry Collins" wrote in message ... ....snip.......
