Bred by the University of California and released in 1987, C-35 is a modern hybrid of Ruby Blood Orange and Poncirus trifoliata. Its an excellent choice for growers looking for good frost tolerance and reliable performance in well-drained soils. C-35 is particularly suited to replant sites and handles high-pH soils better than many other rootstocks, although its best avoided in highly saline or calcareous conditions.Trees on C-35 show strong resistance to tristeza virus and citrus nematode, with reduced susceptibility to Phytophthora root rot. Fruit quality is excellent, comparable to Carrizo citrange, and it performs well with a wide range of citrus varieties.For the healthiest results, always use certified disease-free budwood.
