CITRUS ROOTSTOCKS
Most citrus can be budded onto most other members of the genus and onto some related genus such as Poncirus (trifoliate orange) and Fortunella (kumquat). However choice of rootstocks is very important and this is a great opportunity for "collective learning"
Sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) seedlings are suitable for all citrus, producing large vigorous trees that produce good size, thin skinned fruit of good flavour. They are suited to light to medium well drained soils.
Sour orange (C. aurantium) seedlings suit most citrus species, have a vigorous deep root system and produce high quality,thin skinned juicy fruit.
Rough lemon (C.limon) seedlings are suited to sandy soils and it has an extensive root system. Trees on this rootstock out produce trees on other rootstocks, however the fruit is considered inferior. Fruit is thicker skinned and less sweet and the tree is less cold hardy on these rootstocks. Some orange cultivars on Rough Lemon develop an incompatible bud union. Possibly unsuitable for mandarins.
Trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata) seedlings are commonly used in S.E. Australia. It has a dwarfing effect, producing a smaller mature tree than those on other stocks. Not well suited to heavy clay soils or on sandy soils. Hartmann and Kester say "On light sandy soils its growth may be so poor that trees on this stock are worthless." Though decidious, trees worked on this rootstock are more cold hardy than trees worked on other stocks. Trees on this stock are usceptible to lime induced chlorosis.
Citranges (Trifoliate orange X sweet orange hybrids)
Troyer- vigorous, cold hardy, resistant to gummosis and produces high quality fruit.
Cleopatra Mandarin (C. Retriculata) Some tolerance to salt and produces high quality fruit of a slightly smaller than average size. Chief disadvantage is slow growth of seedlings and is incompatible with some varieties, particularly Eureka Lemon.
Sweet Orange (C. sinensis) Suits all citrus cultivars, producing a large vigorous tree. Good for well drained soils but cannot handle water logging.
Rangpur lime (C. aurantifolia X C. Retriculata) The most salt tolerant rootstock used in Texas.
