You see they become another plant without waiting to fruit for a number of years. Most of my graft to those watersports flowered the same year. And you can graft to any branches one after another.So for one branch you can have 2 or 3 different fruit.

On a healthy citrus, if you head back waterspouts by 1/3 they will usually harden off into useful growth, flowering the next season. Otherwise they should be removed at their point of origin. As a kid, this was one of my tasks at my uncle's groves in Mentone CA.
