Speedy says... Hi culebra, I've not done Citron from cuttings, nor do I have one, but I'd imagine it would go as well as lemon. Just have a go with 10-15cm (5-8mm wood)leafy cuttings, dipped in IBA liquid, gel or powder. remove most lvs. leave 2-3 and cut in half. put cuttings into pot of coarse free-draining sand and cover with plastic bag held above cuttings with a couple of wire hoops poked into edge of pot. place in well lit position out of direct sun. Or if you have another citrus tree, wait til the sap starts moving and the bark 'slips'. Then try a few Citron buds on 1-2cm wood of your other citrus. The T budding method is most commonly used method for citrus. Marcotting also works on some citrus. | About the Author Swan Hill, Nth Vic. 5th August 2009 9:29am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

culebra says... Well, that was pretty easy. i know have a rooted Buddha's hand cutting ready to be potted up. and my potted grafted tree I took the cutting from is producing many flowers and setting fruit :) now to take some more... It will be interesting to compare the growth rate of the grafted one with the non grafted one. | About the Author culebra Melbourne 28th September 2009 2:05pm #UserID: 2458 Posts: 82 View All culebra's Edible Fruit Trees |
