Turpentine does seem to work best as a rootstock in Florida. You should be able to get some in a few months or so...

Turpentine is just a good and very available rootstock. The "best" may actually be different for different culitvars. There have been no conclusive studies or trials that I have seen which makes turpentine the "ulitmate" rootstock. I have used many other seedlings with good success. Certainly turpentine is not a dwarfing rootstock. Large scale grafting nurseries need to procure cheap seeds that are always available and that work well with most cultivar grafting. Turpentine fits that bill.HarryHarry
