I am planning to graft onto my current citrus and practice micro-grafting with the remaining scions I'm ordering from CCPP.
Had success last year grafting Yuzu and Silverhill Satsuma. I have some bud grafts left of Smith Red Blood Orange that are still green but have not pushed. I was completely unsuccessful grafting Chulo Key Lime.
Yuzu was grafted onto Yuzus I germinated in 2018; I will probably have some bud grafting ability on those trees. My Silverhill Satsuma is on a Flying Dragon rootstock and can’t be top-worked or bud grafted this year.
Other trees include a seedling key lime and grafted Rangpur Lime, Lane Late Navel, Finger Lime, and variegated kumquat, all from Four Winds Growers. Wouldn’t mind making these cocktail trees. I also have a few dozen Flying Dragon citrus that I can micrograft, most are less than a year. I've had some success with this in the past.
I’ve compiled a list of varieties I'm interested in growing and would appreciate the forums' opinions as well as any additional recommendations. I love something I can pick and eat, use in a cocktail, and cook with. I won’t be getting all of these but wanted to have options depending on CCPP scion availability.
