Grafting Ken

Durian in Kalasin. Planted 1km from the side of the Lam Pau Dam. From the Dam to around 1.5 km away there’s a good soil. Over that range heavy clay. Plots are nice sloping and cheap as chips at the moment. We bought up 2 plots for the finger lime, looking at 2 more for other projects. Durian Will certainly grow if you find the right plot. Anything that floods forget it.

It’s a large Satsuma type. A nice tree and nice sweet seedless fruit. ours fruited second year.

Dekapon is a fantastic tree.. great fruit grows well.

If your just growing a lemon tree in your back garden then an air layered or tree on its own roots is ok. there isn’t an orchard in the world that grows lemons commercially on their own roots. They have very little pest or virus resilience grown like this. This will all become clear years down the line I really would not recommend farming any citrus tree if it is not on a good compatible rootstock. another note on the Eureka is that Eureka seedlings are used in top end nurseries around the world for indexing. this is virus testing, wils another tree used. They use the Eureka for this method because it has very limited pest , virus resistance and shows up viruses on new grafted trees quickly.. it’s definitely not to be used as a rootstock. all this information is out there on the internet.. very easy to find. please I urge anyone going into farming Lemons or other kinds of citrus to do your homework first.. because planting them on their own roots will end badly and you will lose a lot of trees down the line.

Hi. Ok lemons! So past 12 months we have moved into the lemons. We have collected up. Allen Eureka Taylor Eureka Lambert Eureka Yuzu limoneira South Africa tropical lemon lemonade lemon Queensland lisbon Prior Lisbon. We are only up to around 10 to 30 all very small trees to grow up so we can create more and at some point get them out to farmers around the country. Now here main issue here is that a lot of the Lemons are incompatible with the rootstocks they are grafted on to.. also 99% of the eureka lemon trees I see sold here are not eureka at all so when buying the Eureka lemon it should be either on Rough Lemon Benton Rangpur lime. luckily we have a good supply of the Rangpur rootstock and also in small quantities have been able to get some Benton and rough lemon seeds. So lemons do we have them? yes we do plus now a very large selection of other citrus.. all 100% genuine varieties and all grafted to their own rootstocks. Unfortunately most are still small so it’s going to take a while to get the numbers up. But I can’t sell the trees on this forum so where to go from here I don’t know..
