bobDal says... Thanks for your comment. I have a Valencia orange and Meyer lemon on Trifoliata rootstock . Trifoliata is highly recommended for Melbourne but my problem is that my lemon and orange trees grow very slowly. I was thinking to try other rootstocks for new lime and navel orange trees. Between Citrange and Swingle rootstocks I am not sure which one to choose. Thanks for sharing your experience. | About the Author bobDal WANTIRNA SOUTH,3152,VIC 31st March 2023 12:38pm #UserID: 23169 Posts: 22 View All bobDal's Edible Fruit Trees |

QRcode says... You would be well advised to avoid Swingle rootstock. They are overall a bad rootstock. They produce trees that are very large and not compact at all for home gardens. They have known incompatibility issues with some navel oranges, leading to tree death. They also don't tolerate poor drainage or alkaline soils. I have a grapefruit on Swingle because it is primarily recommended for them, but the tree wants to be an Oak tree. Tri is far superior, especially for Melbourne. Ian Tolley, who was responsible for importing and trialling citrus rootstocks in Australia does not recommend this rootstock either and doesn't have much good things to say about its use. | About the Author QRcode CARLINGFORD,2125,NSW 9th April 2023 10:19pm #UserID: 15852 Posts: 13 View All QRcode's Edible Fruit Trees |
