Well, now we know that it is true only if you take the twigs on an immature plant.

And only in June and July with the highest probability. Mature twigs also root, but it takes longer and percentage is very low. Tested.

When you speak of maturity, do you mean fruiting age or green v. aged wood?

😂😂😂😂😂

Four Winds carried it until recently and the CCPP still has budwood. I have a young, newly grafted tree, but it will be some time before it’s ready to be pruned.

Hey guys, me again with another question: I have a small tree that I grafted last fall, with a scar from a previously failed graft. I have been watching the scar, hoping it would heal up, but it hasn’t changed, other than hardening. Yesterday, I noticed gummy sap accumulating at the top of the scar. Now that I know what I’m doing (mostly lol), I will be grafting this species to another rootstock (without scars lol) once it gets big enough. Is there anything I should do to protect the wound and encourage healing? I’ve thought about re-wrapping the area. Thanks for your time!

She’s precious!! Our puppy has a taste for chewing on citrus trees 😡

My fingers are sore, but my heart is happy...finished grafting for the season! Well, until Thursday, anyway 😂🍋

Both are gone. I’ll update when I’m ready to prune again.

TFN, my local Food Depot (of all places) had them lol. I found one seed and planted it, just for kicks.

Stan McKenzie may have the ichang and taichang lemons

Hey TFN, mine is in a container - purchased from FWG last February as an entry tree. It produced blooms last year and again this year. As of right now, it’s growing out instead of up. I would be happy to send you some sticks if you’d like them - just PM me your address

My husband works for Delta - too bad I can’t put it in a suitcase or carry on bag lol

If you are not a resident of CA, you can contact the USDA National Repository and they may send you budwood for free. To my experience, they send it in the fall, around September or October. The contact information can be found on the CCPP main page.
