About Citrumelo

Citrumelo combines grapefruit and Poncirus in a hybrid group widely used for citrus rootstocks. This listing concerns the plant itself: the qualities of any grafted fruit depend on the scion variety used.

Citrumelo or another variety?

Among our seed parents, citrumelo is rated at -12 °C, against -15 °C for Poncirus and Flying dragon, the latter being a dwarfing rootstock. As a rootstock, it should be chosen on the basis of your soil, your climate, the variety grafted onto it and what you want from the crop. To explore further, see our “Seed parents” category.
