jakfruit etiquette says... First they are closely related, so no issues like trying to graft unrelated (ie apple on peach). Generally should be able to get buds or grafts to take, and sometimes one method will work better than others. Citrus can have long term compatability problems with different combinations, also a big difference in vigour will cause one to overgrow the other. At a guess, id say KL should graft onto GF ok. Any reason you're thinking of doing this ? | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 26th September 2014 4:34pm #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |

Nat says... Im starting to have second thoughts on if it is a grapefruit. When it first started it took of produced some nice fruit and then died. I never checked if it was grafted and now the rootstock is growing back and has been for about two years. Can you plz identify what rootstock this may be and if it was even originally grafted.

sternus1 says... I get confused by hardwood/softwood too. I consider all citrus to be hardwood. You can turn it, comes up very nice actually, and makes good boxes and canes. Macadamia is beautiful wood also, very hard. Not good to for firewood though, takes a lot of heat to burn it. I always use clonex purple for striking everything, which is supposed to be for hardwood stuff only, but it's very good for striking figs. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 27th September 2014 8:35am #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

jakfruit etiquette says... I think theres 2 different things, softwood timber, pine+some rainforest hardwood timber, Eucalypt etc Then there's softwood cuttings+hardwood cuttings. In the pic the branch with the stripey bark is closer to hardwood, the closest to the lens is more softwood,semi hardwood. Citrus probably arent as clear cut as the deciduous species. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 27th September 2014 9:55am #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |
