RobbyT starts with ... My kumquat (Fortune margarita) has snapped off the root stock at the graft spot. I want to know can I graft the tree back on to the remaining root stock to save the plant or should I take a cutting and graft that cutting. Also should the cutting be the same thickness as the root stock | About the Author RobbyT Maroubra 11th December 2019 8:47am #UserID: 21346 Posts: 1 View All RobbyT's Edible Fruit Trees |

jakfruit etiquette says... Such a big graft to replace the whole top is unlikely to succeed, otherwise it would be common to produce instant trees. You have to physically support the graft, so it doesnt move back and forth, and allow callous to form in the graft wound, usually a week or two minimum. A V graft needs to be the same size stock and scion(cutting), a sidegraft can be different sizes, but the cuts are different. Budding is also possible, chip or T budding. Bottle grafting is often used in the tropics, to approach graft larger cuttings, which are kept alive with the water in the bottle. I would look at some pics on the internet to see if you can see what will work. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 11th December 2019 7:04pm #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |
