Nice conversation going with you two but let me intervene before I forget. I grafted 4 scions of Joe's calamondin to a matured Eureka lemon tree. I was encouraged by the fact that I saw a Joe's calamondin took and is about 4 inches long as a trial basis perhaps 8 months ago. Oh, I have grafted dream orange, fokumuko orange, chandler pommelo there at Eureka lemon as host plant and they are big and going strong but no fruits yet. But being a novice a couple of years ago, I did not know where to graft. I used to graft wherever is easy and what is easy is inside the canopy and about 5 feet in height. I graft to wherever a small sport comes out from the main trunk. So there were no sunshine and usually other branches would take over the space. But many times my graft take and but are struggling to get some sunshine.
Now I know better.
More 2 Asian apples scion to Fuji the leftover from yesterday.
