Trifoliata is very hard to root. If it is flying dragon, the thorns will start to curve downward as it gets some age to it.

It took me a while but eventually I found it...

I'm between those two. The label is the same so I can't pick one of them

Very interesting article about rootstock influence to size of plants and number of citrus fruits in pot culture.

http://inea.it/isf/cartella%20del%20WG/Recupero.htm

for example for orange Doppio sanguigno:
size of crown, number of fruits

or for Kumquat:

I agree, this is an interesting paper, nice find. I'm surprised they didn't compare the ratio of fruit number to canopy volume. If these were grown in container long term, they would all likely wind up as similarly sized trees. The ratio of fruit number to canopy volume would then be the best indicator of how productive the different scion/rootstock combinations would be.

Overall looks like Volkameriana and Alemow produce the most fruit for a given canopy volume.

I found another paper that seems to be in line w/ these general observations (Unfortunately the full article is behind a paywall).

Here's the abstract:
Scientia Horticulturae

Volume 53, Issue 4, March 1993, Pages 289–300
Cover image
Alemow (Citrus macrophylla Wester) — a dwarfing rootstock for old-line ‘Temple’ mandarin (Citrus temple Hort. ex. Tan.) ☆

"Alemow (Citrus macrophylla Wester) was compared with six other rootstocks as a rootstock for old-line ‘Temple’ mandarin-like citrus cultivar (Citrus temple Hort. ex. Tan.). The highest cumulative yields during 1976–1990 were produced by trees on the rootstocks: sour orange (Citrus aurantium L.) and Cleopatra mandarin (Citrus reshnii Hort. ex Tan.), however, trees on alemow rootstock showed precocity, dwarfing and high canopy efficiency. Trees on Carrizo citrange rootstock (Citrus sinensis [L.] Osbeck × Poncirus trifoliata [L.] Raf.) suffered from lime induced chlorosis, salinity, and citrus exocortis viroid. Trees on Poorman rootstock (Citrus grandis [L.] Osbeck hybrid?) showed considerable variability in performance. In trees on alemow, total soluble solids concentration and acid in fruit were higher than on the rootstocks rough lemon (Citrus jambhiri Lush.) and Volkameriana (Citrus volkameriana Chapot), but lower than on Carrizo, Cleopatra mandarin and sour orange rootstocks.
Alemow is recommended as a dwarfing rootstock for old-line ‘Temple.’"
