Abstract: The experiment was conducted at Sakkarbaug, Fruit research station, Department of horticulture, college of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh during June 2015 to February 2016. The treatments comprised of six grafting times and three grafting height. The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design with factorial concept and three replications. Interaction effect was observed significant in majority of parameter except carbohydrate content, phenol content, days to shoot emergence, success percentage, survival percentage, length of taproot and girth of taproot. Significantly maximum shoot length and plant height were reported at 15^th September grafting with 60 cm grafting height (T₃H₃). However, it was at par with treatment combination of 30^th August with 60 cm (T₂H₃). While, maximum stock girth and leaves were recorded in 30^th August with 60 cm (T₂H₃) followed by T₃H₃. Likewise, maximum scion girth was noted in treatment combination of 30^th August with 40 cm (T₂H₂). Similarly, poor result in plant height, number of leaves and scion girth were reported in 30^th October with 20 cm (T₆H₁). Whereas, lowest shoot length was noted in 15^th October with 20 cm (T₅H₁) and lowest stock girth was also reported in 30^th October with 40 cm (T₆H₂).
