Wow, your citrus trees look incredibly healthy! You have such a wonderful collection of hardy varieties. It's also great to see all your pomegranates flowering as well!

How did you root tai tri cuttings? I’ve rooted figs, mulberries, and pomegranates, but never citrus. And any leads on a spring flowering loquat, so far I’m unaware of any variety like that?

@@ross2398 rooting citrus is similar to any other plant humidity and a moist substrate that won't mold or rot I use coconut coir and a humidity cover (old fish tank upside-down over the plants) in the shade

@@Talal1320 are you grafting a potted tree or an outdoor cold hardy one? Aside from different techniques tbud, cleft, bark, etc are you using parafilm and rubber bands for extra pressure when securing the graft? Make sure to lineup the cambium very well. If you are grafting now in direct sunlight you should cover the grafts with foil for a few weeks to keep the sun from cooking them

"Fruit Mentor" on KZfaq has some excellent citrus grafting videos, might help you with the different techniques
