The mother tree was a bushy container tree about 11 years old now. The central leader spyked out and is 6 feet tall and i like to obtain a Dekopan sion for a bud graft,which is probable hard to find.Harris might sell this variety but on the wrong rootstock, than i have to graft later to F.D.

Kumquat would be OK it is just a slow growing cultivar. Of the ones you have the navel orange would be my first pick for grafting . Know that no matter what rootstock is used the size of the tree will be limited just because it is grown as a container tree. - Millet
