  Hello sir,sapindales and Rutaceae,are they from the similar family group? I mean same jenus family?If so, as far as I understand;Maple tree belongs to sapindales family and curry leaves tree belongs to Rutaceae family.Therefore,can we budd/graft curry leaves tree in Maple tree?The reason why my queries is curry leaves tree can't grow in UK weather but Maple tree may suffer in uk weather.So just wondering,whethe if I graft/budd curry leaves tree into Maple tree will it be worth doing it?Thanks

  Answer

  Dear sajumwk, the Sapindaceae (soapberry family) and the Rutaceae (rue family) are different families of plants. Both of these families belong to the order Sapindales--which is a rank above family. I do not know if you can graft woody plants of one family to the other one. That is a question for someone with expertise in horticulture and grafting. I'm sorry I can't assist you with your question.
