Hi,

This is the rootstock Citrange Rusk from Hershell. I grafted Cirange Morton on the Citrange Rusk. And from the top of Rusk grow interesting branches. Is it variegated Rusk? What should I do now? I cut off the top where it was green leaves. I hope that the next branches will be variegata.

Very nice, and from the stripes on the stem it looks very promising !

Hershell you good for nothing so & so.

Wait until Mike sees this.

Beautiful tree Jimi. Lazz, normally I pick out all of the variegated seed. lol

Jimi any updated photos on your plant ?

Interesting!
If I understand correctly the rootstock was Rusk - and presumably it did not show any signs of variegation before you used it? It looks a fairly strong rootstock - so the original foliage was plentiful and normal green?
I don't use cleft grafting very often, so I don't have much experience here, but I don't recall ever seeing multiple growth like that from a young rootstock. Normally, new growth is only from a node on young seedlings. Although older plants will regrow new shoots from callus produced from major pruning.
So, is it possible that in this case the grafting has in some way induced variegated growth from the rootstock???
As I said, very interesting!
Look forward to some more pictures.

So the variegation has almost disappeared.
Did you cut off the variegated shoots shown in the ealier photos?

Only once cut a two variegated shoots.New shoots don't show variegation. It remains 3 buds they can give variegated shoots. I still observe I hope that I see variegation.

Oh dear me !!!


How ever could you cut the variegateds ???
