C-32 Citrange is one of the promising rootstocks. It produces better quality fruits that on C-35 citrange.

The major major drawback is that the average number of seeds per fruit is less than one, and the tree produces very few fruits! So it never made a good rootstock candidate.

But we are living with modern technology, and how in the world ever happened to tissue culture? Certainly if most citruses are easily nucellear, you should be able to produce seedlings via tissue culture, so easily as well. With tissue culture, you will produce true to type seedlings by the hundreds of thousands! Did we lack creativity somewhere? Agristart can cell bananas for less than $1 each plantlet, certainly they can sell cirtus rootstock seedlings at that range. Lack of seeds should not be a hindrance, if I were to speculate.

Just a thought, but nonetheless, needed to confirm with others that cultivars on C-32 produces good quality fruits, better than C-35?
