Hi.

1) Can any veteran help me identify this rootstock?

2) What are the pros and cons? What citrus fruit give the best flavor on this rootstock?

I was given this rootstock to play with. The diameter is about 1/4 to 3/8 inch. The tip/top/leader has been cut off long ago, so it's just a 7-inch long stump (but still alive).

I do have some left over scionwoods from UCR CCPP.

Thanks.

By the way, I tried putting in an order (via email) to TreeSource Citrus Nursery ( http://www.citrustreesource.com/pricing/ ) for some rootstock seedling, but they never answer. I ordered a quantity of 10 rootstock seedling (pretty cheap), so I think they just ignored me on the minuscule order. Anyone with the same experience?

Looks like Carrizo citrange. Carrizo is a high yielding rootstock that produces relatively large fruit. As a root stock it is fairly good against freezes, and good against drought, and tolerant of tristeza virus and nematodes. However, does not do well in clay soils, and soils with higher pH levels. - Millet

Thanks Millet!
