Hello!

Citrus maxima rootstock what the advantages and disadvantages? I not find information. On the Citrus maxima rootstock really little flourish?

My Citrus maxima seedling:
2012:

Hi!

I have never experimenting with those but would guess high vigor, large size, and lack of cold hardiness. Let's wait for the experts' opinion.

Good luck!

I'd agree with GT on the lack of cold hardiness. I'd also suspect susceptibility to tristeza virus disease. A major reason that C. maxima is never used commercially as a rootstock is that it is a monoembryonic species, which means that every seedling is genetically unique. So you don't get uniformity, and you can't really predict, from one seedling to the next, what any individual's characteristics will be.

I would just add, that I have never ever heard of anyone ever using C. maxima as a root stock. - Millet

Ohhh. Now turn out, because I did grafting citrus maxima. Next week will be the second weeks. I hope succeeded.

If you do everything correctly, the grafts shall take, no worries. However individual characteristics might vary from one rootstock to the another (vigor, resistance, etc) due to monoembryony of C. maxima as a species... Which in turn may have a repercussion on scion development and general behavior of grafts.

Best,
Igor
