[edit] Citrus trees

Citrus trees can be grafted with limbs of orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit and other varieties. Will any body plz tell me that the grafted plant whether give out fruits or not if grafted of so e.g. if we graft an apple tree with rose plant than whether the tree will bear apples as well as rose flowers. ?

if you graft a rose bud onto an apple tree the grafted part of the rose plant on the apple tree will produce rose flowers (behave like a rose plant) but the rest of the apple tree will continue producing apples(continue to behave like an apple tree). the rose plant that has been grafted only obtains its nutrients from the apple tree's transport system, not its genetic characteristics (: Robbyrobrob 08:58, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Quite probably not entirely true (horray for weasel words =). The grafted branches do in fact take on a certain degree of the host tree, a slight hybridization if you will. I've no idea on how this would be noticable on a rose on apple graft though, would be an interesting experiment. 85.228.39.204 (talk) 17:43, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pomato

Pomatoes are grafted the same way. I think... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.6.122.36 (talk) 05:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Misinformation

The last paragraph of "Grafting Methods" in "Grafting" is full of typos and I don't think it is reliable information.

It seems impossible to produce a new species this way, as grafting won't alter the plants' genomes.

You are technically correctHal Cross 11:16, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scion?

I believe it is spelled Cion.... Could be wrong, but I'm quite sure 83.109.82.139 09:55, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Dictionary.com suggests that scion is the preferred spelling, and that cion is a variant. 85.228.39.204 (talk) 17:46, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
