Grafting Lemon 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 grafting lemon trees using the T-bud method:

  1. Select
    Your Materials:
    • Choose
      a healthy rootstock lemon tree (the base tree) and a desired lemon
      variety (the scion) that you want to graft.
    • Make
      sure both the rootstock and scion are actively growing during the
      grafting season.
  2. 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.
  3. Prepare
    the Rootstock:
    • Cut
      a small branch from the rootstock tree.
    • Trim
      away any leaves from the bottom half of the cutting.
  4. Prepare
    the Scion:
    • Take
      a single bud from the desired lemon variety (the scion).
    • Trim
      the scion to include the bud and a small portion of the bark.
  5. 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.
  6. Seal
    the Graft:
    • Apply
      grafting wax or a similar sealant to protect the graft union.
    • Keep
      the grafted area moist.
  7. Care:
    • Water
      the tree regularly.
    • Monitor
      the graft union for signs of success (new growth).

Remember that using disease-free budwood is crucial for
successful grafting. Obtain budwood from reputable sources or programs
that provide disease-free citrus cuttings1.

Creating a Multi-Fruit Tree:

A multi-fruit tree, also known as a “fruit salad tree,”
combines different fruit varieties on a single tree. Here’s how you can create
one:

  1. Choose
    Your Varieties:
    • Select
      fruit varieties that are compatible with each other and suitable for your
      climate.
    • Consider
      factors like taste, ripening times, and intended use (fresh eating,
      canning, baking).
  2. Planting:
    • Find
      a sunny spot in your yard (at least 6 hours of sun per day).
    • Space
      the trees 2-3 feet apart (trunk to trunk) to maximize variety within a
      small space.
    • Aim
      the branches away from the centre of the grouping.
  3. Cross-Pollination:
    • Plant
      different varieties close together to encourage cross-pollination.
    • Cross-pollination
      improves fruit production and quality.
  4. Maintenance:
    • Prune
      regularly to maintain tree size and shape.
    • Water
      consistently (at least a gallon per week per tree).
    • Fertilize
      according to the specific needs of each variety.

Creating a multi-fruit tree allows you to enjoy a diverse
harvest throughout the growing season. Happy grafting!
