Grafting Help
Perplexed:
First time grafting and it's going to be a microcitrus species. What's the best grafting technique for grafting small twigs?
tedburn:
Cleft grafting works, use a razor blade
sc4001992:
I also like to use the side veneer graft for the small citrus twigs. I had good success with 1/16" diameter scion wood. It allows you to graft the small scion onto slightly larger rootstock branch.
pagnr:
Agree, use a razor blade. I use a square double sided Wilkinson Sword, but cut in half so you are not having to hold both blade faces.
Parafilm or Buddy tape makes it much easier to cover the grafting work.
I often use a tomato grafting clip, to hold the graft closed while tying the first tie on the rootstock.
The same methods can be used for tiny chip buds or tiny T buds.
Seanny:
Vash, how big is rootstock?
