By the way good job with the grafts.

bencelest · 07-21-2008, 12:07 AM

Me too but here they are. They are different fruits in different branches of one tree.
I will also show you different grafts of different citrus in my matured Eureka lemon.

Richard · 07-21-2008, 12:36 AM

mskitty38583 · 07-21-2008, 01:02 PM

bencelest · 07-21-2008, 01:06 PM

Oh,I see now what you mean when you mentioned shovel. But we have this clay soil. Hard to dig.

Calamondin grafted to Eureka lemon.

Dean W. · 07-21-2008, 05:07 PM

I like seeing the pics. You wrapped them up in plastic? Or is that tape?

bencelest · 07-25-2008, 04:34 PM

Dean:
They are grafting tape that you can buy through the internet for about $2.00 a roll. I choose that because it is biodegradable. Once the graft takes about 3 to 5 weeks it disintegrates itself.
But you can use any tape you want even electrical tape but I believe the take will decrease.

bencelest · 08-03-2008, 09:58 AM

Success! I was able to graft a seedless Kishu mandarin to a Chandler pomello.
This mandarin is one of my favorites for its sweetness and juicyness. The other favorite of mine is the Clemenule from Spain. Another out of this world taste.

bencelest · 08-03-2008, 10:03 AM

Here are various grafts of clemenule mandarin from Spain to a Chandler pomello. At least 7 branches were grafted at various different time frame.

Richard · 08-03-2008, 10:30 AM

Congratulations! Does the Chandler would boost production in the Mandarins?

bencelest · 08-04-2008, 01:17 AM

I really don't know Richard.
I am all doing it for fun. Just trial and error method. I found out that Chandler pomello is the most compatible variety to graft with mandarins. Boosting production is a different matter.
I noticed though that the clemenules flowered early. It flowered on the next year's graft but they all aborted once the fruit were the size of BB's. Hopefully next year some will grow to maturity. But I enjoyed the flower's fragrance.

bencelest · 09-18-2008, 07:52 PM

Here's my Fuji apple about ready to harvest the fruit. The fruit can stay on the tree for a very long time. Pic taken 9 16 08

bencelest · 09-18-2008, 08:03 PM

and here's also another Fuji apple tree grafted to it are a green almost yellow apples (variety unknown that I got from my sister's yard, large, very sweet and juicy Japanese . .origin). Its first year fruit.
