To replace trifoliate orange was tested as rootstock to find out success of grafting, compatibility between exotic citrus varieties and local (Bangladesh) pummelo. One-year-old plants of 24 exotic varieties with tender scions were collected, covered in polyethylene bags and kept in refrigerator. Scions for grafting were selected with one bud only and were kept in Petri dish under moist cotton during operation. Generally the scion and rootstock were chosen with equal diameter. Grafting was done using with polyethylene tape in March, 1982 and the grafting tape was opened after two months. The final observation was noted in May, 1982. Success of grafting has been found to be very high with all varieties except Natsudaidai.
