When my friend told us that she was moving we were a little sad. She was sad too, but for more than just that... she had to leave her beloved Key Lime tree behind. I have had some success with propagating fruit trees so I wanted to see if I could help her take this tree with her.

UPDATE!! It is NOT a good idea to move citrus around the state!

Is is a bad idea to move citrus around Texas and in California. Citrus in Florida has been pretty much wiped out by a disease called citrus greening or huanglongbing or HLB. See:
http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/11/27/457424528/how-long-can-floridas-citrus-industry-survive

The economic damage in Florida is in the billions of dollars and thousands of people have lost their jobs.

The disease is 100% fatal and exists in Texas and is threatening citrus farmers and homeowners all over the state:

We still have a chance in Texas and California if people do not spread the disease.

People moving trees around spreads the disease much faster than insects. Here is a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTDoW-NsJTE that demonstrates how to graft with disease free budwood ordered from the Kingsville Citrus Center at Texas A&M University: http://kcc-weslaco.tamu.edu/budwood.html

Along with my success I wanted to see if we could up the percentages on getting this special tree propagated successfully. I found this YouTube video that steps through propagating citrus by cuttings.

In my demonstration I'm pretty much using this method because I believe it will help make this task successful.
