I am new to this and have sprouted 15 avodaco's from the large Florida variety. They are all very healthy. I would like to graft some of them in an experiment to see if I can produce fruit. I am however confused on the terminology of 'grafting'.

I am in Florida and have access to several mature, fruiting trees. What I need to know is when the term "scion wood with buds" is used does that mean leaf buds or flower buds? Or will just a nice, healthy section of branch work?

Also, I have a couple of trees that were grafted by others from fruit producing trees. However, they have not as yet produced fruit. Will a graft to my root stock from one of these young trees result in a producing tree (maybe)?

Any input will be greatly appreciated.
