ROOTSTOCK

Flying dragon rootstock

Citrus rootstock used to dwarf the variety grafted onto it. It is a mutated Trifoliatia species which has hooked thorns and much slower growing. Due to the difficulty and slowness in growing Flying Dragon, Citrus varieties grafted onto this variety are usually more expensive. It imparts the same characteristics to the scion, including cold hardiness, tolerance to root fungi and nematodes

Trifoliata

Trifoliata rootstock is resistant to citrus nematode and some species of phytophthora. It grows well on heavier clay loams to loamy soils in the cooler areas. Fruit quality is excellent when used under oranges and some mandarins. Best all purpose stock for orchardists and home gardeners.

Mulberry - White Seedling

Quick growing hardy shade tree. Used also as a rootstock for Mulberry varieties. This tree is used as a host plant for silk worms employed in the commercial production of silk.

Morus alba is also notable for the rapid release of its pollen which is launched at over half the speed of sound.
