Grafting is the practice of attaching a fruiting or flowering stem, called a scion, to a fruiting or flowering plant, called rootstock. Grafting is common with citrus and avocado trees. For citrus plants, grafting may be performed on seedlings as long as they are at least 25 or 30 inches tall. Wait until late fall or early spring to attempt a graft. Use a grafting knife, available at nurseries and home and garden centers. These knives are very sharp and specifically designed for cutting stems cleanly and evenly.
