Nice job. Are you going to put that in ground? I wonder how much added cold tolerance the FD will add to the kumquat....

Steve nice work!!! my one and only Successful graft is not nearly As neat as yours pictured above! Waiting for my Seville sour orange to grow fruits for more grafting adventures :)

Jan Yours looks good. What did you use for rootstock for your sour orange bud.

Steve

Howard The graft area is completely sealed in by the new growth from both the bud and the root stock. Teflon tape is used to both seal the wound and hold the grafted parts together while they seal shut. Painting is a good idea if a wound is not quite sealed after the graft starts growing.

Steve

it is a nursery protection method

can I paint my grafts just to seal them before adding the tape as an extra method of sealing the graft and what organic fertilizer is safe for my lemon seedlings

The grafting surfaces but be clean and paint free but sealed with grafting tape (Teflon) to sea/heal themselves properly.

Steve

ok because I heard that is professional method

Thanks Steve I will be using what I had from a previous Buddha’s hand tree that I no longer wanted which was c35! I think thats what they use at four winds which is where I got the Buddha’s hand A while back.

to pornicirusguy6b452xx I'm trying to grow my lemon seedlings i in clay soil and my seedlings are less than 5 inches and I just switched from a non draining pot of clay soil to5 gallon of a less dense darker clay with slightly more sand in think it may be more nutrient rich than the other one

Howard Can you post a picture.

Steve

the lighter colored clay soil in flowerpot where it was growing and the darker clay soil has more sand and more nutrients less dense than the first but still have a high amount of clay
