Citrus Grafting

Saturday, Feb 9th, I went to another California Rare Fruit Growers (CFRG) meeting in San Jose. I learned about "balancing multi-grafted fruit trees" and bought some citrus budwood for grafting. The budwood I got are: 'Seedless Kishu', 'Cara Cara Pink', 'Midknight', 'Sanguinelli' and 'Bream Tarocco'.
I grafted them onto my 'Washington Navel' orange but I had a tough time matching the grafts. So I might have bollocked it all and effectively mangled my little tree.
I grafted 'Seedless Kishu' onto my 'Dancy' mandarin tree.
