Learn how to bud graft citrus fruit trees successfully. I have found that chip budding of citrus gives a high success rate and is more versatile than citrus T-budding. Unlike the T-bud, the chip bud can be used even when the bark of the rootstock is not slipping. The chip bud is useful for grafting orange trees, grafting lemon trees, or any other kind of citrus fruit including mandarins, limes, grapefruit, pummelos, or kumquats.

I have submitted this video to amara.org and created English subtitles. Amara is a free website that enables crowdsourced subtitles in various languages -- sort of like a Wikipedia for subtitles. I found Amara easy to use. I am hopeful that the spread of citrus greening can be stopped by spreading the word about grafting with clean budwood in other languages in addition to English. Please help by translating to other languages. Here is the link:

In California, the collection of any citrus propagative materials, including budwood and seeds, from non-registered sources is illegal. Any citrus trees grown or grafted in California must come from source trees registered with either:
(1) The Citrus Nursery Stock Pest Cleanliness Program, administered by the California Department of Food and Agriculture, or
(2) The Citrus Clonal Protection Program, located at the University of California at Riverside.
