jakfruit etiquette says... Sweet Lime was used as rootstock, should be ok. Budding should be ok, how thick is the trunk you want to bud ? If more than 4 or 5 cm try a couple of large chip buds, roughly opposite each other (or large T buds if bark is slipping). Or go higher up in the tree and bud 2-3 cm branches. You can bud any diameter trunk at any height, even very low, but a large wound after you cut back the top growth can be a problem. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 30th January 2014 10:24pm #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |

gimme says... Also, you can cut the sweet lime off altogether. How thick is the base of the tree? Remove down at the rootstock level and rub out all but one sucker, then tbud it when it is 1cm+ and the bark is slipping. Your new tree may not be attractive and you have to wait longer to bud it but it's easier to bud this way because the tree is pushing a lot more. I have used interstocks a bit and you get some ugly trees sometimes and depending on the type of trees you not only get characteristics from the rootstock but the inter stock aswell ( which may not be desirable) | About the Author gimme Brisbane, Qld 30th January 2014 10:47pm #UserID: 2525 Posts: 236 View All gimme's Edible Fruit Trees |

jakfruit etiquette says... The two main types of budding are T-budding and chip budding http://www.ultimatecitrus.com/pdf/propagation.pdf When you convert a fruit tree from one variety to another, it's usually called top working. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 1st February 2014 12:40am #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |
Dan Willey says... I have found that the easiest way to top work a citrus tree is with bark grafting. Please see the following page for a detailed video tutorial on bark grafting citrus: http://www.fruitmentor.com/how-you-can-stop-citrus-greening In Australia you can buy disease-free budwood from Auscitrus.
