Not the prettiest graft and I didn’t think it would even take. I did it last February and it just sat there. It shot out one shoot in June. But with the heat, it seems to be activating many more nodes. This was from a Trader Joe‘s box of Stem-and-Leaf mandarins (likely Murcott), veneer-grafted onto citrumelo rootstock. I tried to find the freshest box of scions...er, I mean mandarins. Gotta get them when they first come in and the leaves and stems are still very green, glossy and hydrated. I know a number of folks on here have also done these. I tried rooting cuttings, but that didn't work.

I did three individual grafts on this one citrumelo and eventually they all took.
