C35 in 2 L pot, ready to graft

Spanish-grown, tissue-culture C35 rootstock, ready to graft, about 70 to 80 cm tall, potted, pencil-thick.

Getting started with this rootstock

Citrange C35 (orange × Poncirus) is vigorous and quick to bear; it is at ease in loamy soil and suits clementines and mandarins very well. As it keeps its leaves, a late frost while the sap is running can damage it: in cold areas, prefer Poncirus.

• On arrival: take the pot out of the box, water without waterlogging, and repot or plant without delay, protected from frost.
• When to graft: when the bark lifts easily, usually from spring to late summer. Young plants are first grown on in pots and grafted when the collar is roughly pencil-thick, by chip budding or whip-and-tongue; a thicker stem is cleft grafted.
• Label each plant with the rootstock name: our rootstock labels.
