Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: Macrophylla Vs FD vs C-35 root stock
« on: May 21, 2023, 09:27:03 AM »
At time of grafting the FD rootstock was 2.5 years old and the sour orange about 1.25 years old. Growth between the 2 is similar. The soil is out of my compost pile pine bark mulch. I did not screen for size. Sour orange rootstock is on the slow growing side. My original and only Valentine got sick and I did an emergency graft to save the cultivar and I think the valentine is 6 months younger than listed above.

« on: May 20, 2023, 04:56:10 PM »Our professional base ball tea, The Cincinnati reds, referred to them as being in Zinzinnati. Our city is of German heritage and misspelling it with Z's is supposed to give it a German twist. With your name of Zitrus.... I though you may be from Cincinnati.Zitrusgaertner
Have you ever been to Zinzinnati, Ohio
No, never been there. Never been to the US either.Why?

My hands shake too. I t-Bud but I leave the leaf on so I can manipulate the bud into position. I wrap the graft above and below then cut the leaf off and cover.

I don't notch my citrus and I get.
Most of my branching forms at the graft line. My rootstock is Flying dragon so I know a root stock sucker by its leaves of 3.
