Congratulations! Ideally this would be best done after significant root
and vigorous shoot growth develops. Often with this type of plant one
may wait until the following spring.

I found this site the other day when I wanted to read about t-budding. Btw...now that your's took, did you remove all of the wood behind the bud? I read in a book that it isn't needed, and on this site it says there will be a bit of wood. I'm currently trying both with Pink Lemonade & Fall Navel Orange. I just did the budding on Sat. If I'm successful, I'll add Bears Lime & Tangerine.

Tania,
In My Case I am trying to create a Grapefruit tree that will grow in my Zone. (The High Desert (Mojave))
It looks like from your Zone that you are in the Low Desert (Colorado/Sonoran).
In my case, I need to remove all of the rootstock past the tbud because I am trying to create a single hardy plant. On my others that I am creating fruit coctail trees, I leave the remaining stock (to put more buds on later)

Where do you get your Budwood and rootstock from?

Good Luck with your Buds
Jim

Hey Jim!

I am actually using a dwarf lemon tree in my back yard to graft the buds onto. And the buds are taken from my sister's dwarf trees in her back yard. The Bears lime and Tangerine will come from dwarf trees I have at a property we're renting out. When I was a kid, the local nursery (no longer there) had a citrus tree that was grafted by the owner. It had grapefruit, pink grapefruit, orange, tangerine, lemon & lime. My Mom loved it, but it was too pricy for us. I tried t-budding before when I was a kid but they never took. This is actually my second attempt.
