I had a Harvey lemon on flying dragon root stock and it simply got to cold for the Harvey part, bloomed in Jan. followed a few days later by our coldest days of the year. Harvey is gone but the root stock is fine and I'm thinking of trying to graft a myers lemon on to the root stock all ready in the ground.
I need to read up on how to do it, have a basic idea how it's done. Is this a good time of year to try doing that? I'll be over 50 degrees for months to come. Some years I don't even go under 32, not sure if that makes a difference.
Grafting a fruit tree this time of year?
From: nodak.edu
It is best to graft in the spring, from the time the buds of understock trees are beginning to open, until blossom time. The usual time is April or early May.
Actually I got a good answer over on the Carolina forum. Seems with citrus I can do it anytime depending on how I graft it.
I'm glad you got the information you were looking for!
