Hi,

There was a different tree in a C35 row, now the fruits are ripe.
I believe this is a Benton citrange but I want to get your opinions before giving an ID to the tree.

There are few photos below;





Thanks,

Is it a row of rootstock seedlings, allowed to grow to fruiting stage ?
The fruit types from seedlings can be fairly variable, but the foliage usually not so much.
Could also be a seedling variant, but most of these still resemble the parent.

Thanks pagnr,

Yes, these are seedlings allowed to grow, we examine them.

I already checked the pdf documents and I am %99 sure this is a Benton but one point cause me to suspect is the the curve or "heart shaped leaf end" of small leaves on the photo in that document, I mean the Benton citrange pdf you sent.

My plant's leaves are all pointed.

The heart shaped indentations in citrus leaves is normally caused by a deficiency of calcium in the leaf. This heart shape formation can (and does) happen in most all varieties of citrus. BTW, how did your Trifoliate root stock production that you grew in the air root pruning turn out? - Millet (1,127-)

Thanks Millet, this is a new and very important knowledge for me.

Air root pruned Flying Dragons grew very well, result was very succesful.

Unfortunately, other work took too much time on that period and after transplanting the seedlings to polyethylene bags, we missed the budding season.Now all seedlings are too thick to bud so I am planning to cut them all at the end of winter and rejuvenate them.

Your Flying Dragon stocks, the main trouble can be finding a straight flat section to put a bud into somewhere on the zig zag stem.
Small short chip buds may be easier to fit than T buds. Apart from that ,if you can get budwood to match the size of your stocks, chip buds (or t buds) should be able to be cut to fit.

Thanks pagnr,

No problem with finding a flat area but I will bud calamondin and kumquat which have very tiny budwoods, this is the problem.Budwoods are 2-3mm wide and it is very difficult to bud them on a grown flying dragon.
