I've been grafting so many citrus,apples, plouts and plums since 2 weeks ago.

When I graft, it is in short proximity to the soil line. Part of this is because I have room for one or two trees of each fruit variety that will grow in my area; another part is that I cook, freeze, make jam, sorbet etc. from batches of the same cultivar and so 1/2 dozen of one fruit won't do; and finally I don't multi-graft to test varieties -- instead I just go to a fruit tasting or someone with the plant and try it there.
On the other hand, I really admire what others are doing with multi-graft trees because many varieties are untested in their climate, or they just don't have room for both an orange and tangerine tree.
So what did you graft today?
