[Arid_gardener] Question from Home-Hort WWW page

[Dick]

Any of a number of grafting and budding techniques can be used to make a 
"cocktail" tree. Any number of citrus varieties can be attached to any one 
healthy tree. I have an aging Tangelo tree to which, during its prime, I had 
successfully budded or grafted 7 varieties but I have since lost track of 
most of them. I used the tree to practice.

Species must be closely related genetically to be compatable.
