    I recieved these Poncirus trifoliata cuttings from GregN a couple of weeks ago. I promptly dipped them in a liquid rooting hormone, set them in damp coco fiber on a heated (70 f) mat. I used inverted water bottles with the tops cut off for humidity.
    All four have taken and as a side note some leaves have 5 leaflets rather than the typical three.

    Cheers, LPN (Barrie)

    Now you have rootstock to try your grafting skills next spring. Most Poncirus will root without any problems. I often take the tops I cut off after budding & stick them in a community pot & most will root out to be used the next season for rootstock.

    ahhh yes, grafting. Something I've never done, but would like to do.
