 This forum was recommended to me by some excellent people I met at the Southeast Citrus Expo last weekend, thanks! I’ve been growing organic vegetables pretty seriously for a long time, and randomly started just planting tangerine seeds all over my garden about 20 years ago, but I’m a vegetable guy and I don’t know anything about fruit trees. I have 18 citrus trees now and figured I should learn about citrus tree care and especially learn about grafting techniques. I’m going to try grafting for the first time today I’m in SC in zone 8 |

Yes, users sometimes have problems with this. It is more reliable to use third-party photo hosting. You can read here if you don't know how: citrusgrowersv2.proboards.com/thread/108/adding-photosWhat varieties do you grow, do you know? Are they all seedlings? How severe frosts do you have? |

Welcome Jimbo
There are many grafting techniques that work well on citrus. I am pretty bad at grafting but I have found cleft and bark grafts easy enough.
Have you grown all your 18 citrus from seed? Are any of them flowering/fruiting?

I believe I met Jimbo at the most recent southeastern citrus expo and if my memory serves he has harvested from from most of his trees. Very impressive here in SC that he has trees that survived 2018
