About Poncirus

Poncirus is the classic citrus rootstock: a deciduous citrus, extremely resistant to cold, with leaves divided into three leaflets. It is used as a rootstock and as a seed source. Its appeal is horticultural: its fruit is no substitute for a sweet eating orange.

Poncirus or another variety?

Flying Dragon, with the same indicative hardiness (-15 °C), is a dwarfing rootstock recognisable by its twisted shoots and curved thorns; citrumelo, which brings together grapefruit and Poncirus, is rated at -12 °C. To explore further, see our “Seed parents” category.
