History of EastDormCitrus|
And the idea was born. By [grafting] budwood from different varieties of citrus onto the same tree, they hoped to create a multi-grafted citrus "cocktail." After pitching the idea during a dorm meeting and requesting funding from the Alumni Board, AryaMassarat purchased a small Eureka Lemon tree from Home Depot with the help of JacobRoth. Together with MaxTepermeister, AndrewMPham, and GiselleSerate, AryaMassarat planted the tree (with the help/approval of F&M) in the courtyard of East. |

Update: A week or two after the unwrapping of those new grafts, nearly all of them dried out and died! In the future, we should wait more than a month (maybe 1.5 or even 2 months) before unwrapping the grafts. 3/7/20AryaMassarat, MarzBarnes, JasonMisleh, and RyanMartinez grafted 3 buds of [Finger Lime] and 2 buds of [Pixie Mandarin] on 3 branches of the tree (where only one branch had a single variety of Finger Lime) via [T-budding]. They grafted much earlier in the semester than usual, so that they could wait longer before unwrapping and could try again if the grafts failed. The budwood has (and will continue to be) stored in the refrigerator in the meantime. |
