sternus1 starts with ... Anyone know much about this? I buy fingerlimes grafted onto this and in QLD it so, so much better than tri. I mean those grafted onto this are just way, way healthier and never get dieback. They also hold much more fruit. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 22nd September 2014 12:20pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318

gimme says... All I know is it's the most expensive to buy seed of from auscitrus due to royalties being paid to the breeder, I notice birdwood use it on rainforest pearl sometimes | About the Author gimme TINGALPA,4173,QLD 22nd September 2014 5:17pm #UserID: 2525 Posts: 236

sternus1 says... Definitely way better than tri here in Bris, worth paying the premium. I did buy the trees from aussiecitrus. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 22nd September 2014 6:26pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318

Boris Spasky says... Bred as a rootstock for Eureka lemon, which is incompatible on tri. There's always trade offs with rootstocks. I'd be interested in your comparative assessment of internal fruit quality (acidity, seeds, juice, etc.) | About the Author Boris Spasky 22nd September 2014 8:52pm #UserID: 7085 Posts: 184

sternus1 says... I'll be able to let you know pretty soon Boris, fruit are forming right now on the seperate trees grafted on tri and cox hybrid rootstocks and they were all potted with the same mix on the same day, get the same light, fertilizer, and water. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 22nd September 2014 9:15pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318
