Here’s a guide on using Flying Dragon rootstock for
grafting citrus trees:
- Understanding
Rootstock: - Most
citrus trees are grafted onto specific rootstocks when grown in
nurseries. Grafting allows growers to propagate strong trees that will
likely fruit and flower earlier than seedling trees. - Rootstocks
also allow growers to manipulate the growth habit (such as dwarfing) and
incorporate desirable attributes from another tree. - Disease
resistance, yield improvement, and vigor can be significantly enhanced
when the chosen rootstock is well-suited for the local climate. - Flying
Dragon Rootstock: - Flying
Dragon is a specific rootstock used for grafting citrus trees,
especially when a dwarf size is desired. - When
citrus is grafted onto Flying Dragon rootstock, it grows more slowly and
reaches only about 30% to 50% of its normal size, resulting in a dwarf
version. - The
root system of Flying Dragon is smaller and highly fibrous, making it
ideal for container gardening. - It
has proven to be more resistant to cold temperatures, wet soils, root and
collar rot, citrus nematodes, and the tristeza virus. - The
slower winter growth allows the tree to harden off better, reducing
susceptibility to cold damage. - The
fruit quality of citrus grafted onto Flying Dragon rootstock is
excellent. - Steps
for Grafting Using Flying Dragon Rootstock: - Selecting
Scion Wood: - Choose
healthy scion wood (the part of the tree you want to propagate) from a
mature citrus tree. - Scion
wood should be disease-free and have desirable fruit characteristics. - Preparing
the Rootstock: - Obtain
a Flying Dragon rootstock plant. - Make
a clean, diagonal cut on the rootstock stem. - Grafting
Techniques: - There
are various grafting techniques, such as cleft grafting, whip-and-tongue
grafting, or bud grafting. - Follow
the specific technique you’re comfortable with. - Joining
Scion and Rootstock: - Place
the scion onto the rootstock, ensuring proper alignment. - Secure
the graft union with grafting tape or rubber bands. - Aftercare:
- Keep
the grafted tree in a warm, sheltered location. - Water
it regularly and protect it from extreme weather conditions. - Monitor
the graft union for signs of successful grafting (new growth). - Additional
Tips: - Always
follow proper grafting hygiene to prevent disease transmission. - Label
your grafted trees to keep track of the scion variety. - Be
patient—the grafted tree will take time to establish and grow.
Remember that Flying Dragon rootstock is an excellent choice
for creating dwarf citrus trees. Enjoy your homegrown citrus!
Creating a Multi-Grafted Tree:
A multi-grafted tree allows you to enjoy different fruit
varieties on a single tree. Here’s how you can create one:
- Choose
Your Varieties: - Select
compatible fruit varieties (e.g., lemon, orange, kumquat) that you want
to graft onto the same tree. - Ensure
they have similar growth habits and requirements. - Grafting:
- Follow
the grafting technique (such as T-budding) for each variety. - Graft
the different scions onto separate branches of the rootstock tree. - Spacing:
- Space
the grafts evenly around the tree to allow for healthy growth. - Aim
for a balanced appearance. - Maintenance:
- Prune
regularly to maintain tree size and shape. - Water
and fertilize according to the specific needs of each variety.
Creating a multi-grafted tree is a rewarding project that
combines the best of several fruit varieties. Enjoy your diverse harvest!
