Grafting citrus fruits (fruit salad tree) Posted 817 days ago Has anyone had any experience grafting fruit trees? I am looking to start an orange tree, and later graft in a lemon and lime. How old would the orange tree have to be to do this? Any advice would be appreciated. Are oranges best in full sun? |

RE: Grafting citrus fruits (fruit salad tree) Posted 816 days ago okay let me tell you this........
grafting is a difficult thing to do and requires patience and many plants do die. I thought about it but the success rate in nurseries are not that high. That's why it costs more to buy than regualar ones.
Sometimes it is best to buy as nurseries.
Though here is a link showing how to graft a tree.

strongly suggest to graft one tree at a time
