Description
Sale is for 10x Dwarf blood orange branch cuttings. I also sell the root stock, flying dragon.
Grafting Orange Cuttings:
Grafting is a technique used to combine different plant
parts (scion and rootstock) to create a single, healthy tree. Here’s a
step-by-step guide for
- Select
Your Materials: - Choose
a healthy rootstock orange tree (the base tree) and a desired orange
variety (the scion) that you want to graft. - Ensure
both the rootstock and scion are actively growing during the grafting
season. - Timing:
- Graft
during a time when the bark is slipping (usually late spring or summer). - If
the bark isn’t slipping, consider using chip budding instead. - Prepare
the Rootstock: - Cut
a small branch from the rootstock orange tree. - Trim
away any leaves from the bottom half of the cutting. - Prepare
the Scion: - Take
a single bud from the desired orange variety (the scion). - Trim
the scion to include the bud and a small portion of the bark. - T-Budding
Technique: - Make
a T-shaped incision in the rootstock bark. - Insert
the scion bud into the T-cut, ensuring it fits snugly. - Secure
the bud with rubber bands or grafting tape. - Seal
the Graft: - Apply
grafting wax or a similar sealant to protect the graft union. - Keep
the grafted area moist. - Care:
- Water
the tree regularly. - Monitor
the graft union for signs of success (new growth).
Remember to use disease-free budwood for successful
grafting. Obtain budwood from reputable sources or programs that provide
disease-free citrus cuttings.
Creating a Multi-Fruit Tree (Optional):
If you’d like to create a multi-fruit tree with oranges,
follow the same steps as mentioned earlier. Choose compatible fruit varieties,
plant them close together, and encourage cross-pollination for a diverse
harvest.
Happy grafting, and may your orange tree thrive!
