Grafting in plants is taking a branch off one tree and putting on another root tree of the same family. like Citrus trees Oranges lemons limes grapefruits. the biggest success in grafting the I know is seedless navel oranges. which are hard to grow from seed. By grafting a navel orange branch to say a lemon tree root that grows good in the local soil you end up with a navel orange tree that grows good in local soil, faster and better than if you tried to grow new trees. Grafting is normally done when plants are smal less than 3/8 inches around the graft branch is cut to a wedge shape and inserted into a sliced branch junction on the root tree so that the sap lines match up its all wrapped up with tape to support it and the root plant gets plant food to help it grow stronger and faster. the graft will be a weak spot until the tree grows thicker so its usually done on young trees in nurseries(saplings). Branches can be added to any age tree so If you want you can turn your lemon tree into a lemon lime tree still.

Grafting allows you to graft a branch of a type of plant that produces a lot of fruit on to a plant that has a strong trunk and root system. This allows the plant to survive and produce more fruit than the original one.

Plants don't reproduce by grafting.

In grafting a piece of wood from plant A is grafted onto plant B. If done properly the grafted piece begins to grow on plant A.
