Saw this while visiting my daughter in FL recently. It is the best looking citrus tree I saw on the whole trip. The tree was in a beautifully landscaped yard at a small home in Deland. Not sure what it is. The light was getting dim out and I think the picture quality suffered a little.

Hi Ned. It looks to be a few trees planted in the same hole. I have never seen a citrus tree with so many individual trunks.

Yes Lazz, It is pretty certain it is not a grafted tree. I wondered if it might not be a rootstock of some sort. Cleo is sometimes used as a rootstock and it looks like this could have been a rootstock that just took over. If I ever get back that way again, I will be sure to stop to talk to the owner. When we were there it was getting late and we were wanting to get home to SC.
