Satsuma tree

This is my Satsuma tree. Am I correct in assuming that the Satsuma portion is dead from the freeze and this new growth is only rootstock?

The parts growing from the base are definitely rootstock.

Yeah, it's gone. I would start over.

Now you’ll have a thorn bush that produces small, round lemons.

Looks gone to me.
How hard is grafting a new tree to the old rootstock? I wonder if you could cut a limb off of somebody else's tree and get it to take.
I bought an Arctic Frost satsuma this year, it's supposed to be cold tolerant down to 10 degrees.

I was wondering the same thing. Is it doable? And can it be done at this time of the year?
Posted on 5/29/25 at 6:30 pm to BadMrK
I def want to know the same thing

Yes. Anything with trifoliate leaves is root stock.
HE GONE.

I have 3 -15 year old trees that look that way. I found a pop up nursery that was closing out some stock this weekend. Bought 2 owari and 2 brown select. All Saxon Becnel for $25 per tree. Guess its time to suck it up and cut down the olds ones.

Mine look like the OP's. So, I should face reality and cut them down?

Very easy. Not best time of year but nothing to lose in trying.
Posted on 6/1/25 at 12:47 pm to BadMrK
now is not the best time of year. if you can get some bud wood for free though, an established rootstock like you have would make for excellent practice though. you'll want to try a chip graft or T-Bud, since your scion will be several times smaller than the base of that tree.

Yep, mine looks the exact same way.

So gurus, using the picture the OP posted does one graft to the main truncated or the root stock or the green shoot from the main trunk?
