Citrus General Discussion / Re: C35 rootstock tree size

Thanks all for the feedback...it helps confirm that the topwork done to a new tree won’t turn it into a dwarf if it isn’t on a dwarf rootstock.
@waiting, that is correct. I talked to the staff at La Verne, and they confirmed that the only rootstock they use for citrus is c35. The labels are misleading at best.
@millet, thanks for the authoritative info. I found similar stuff online, but wanted to ask folks with experience...and reading some of your posts, it’s clear that your opinion is very valuable!
@johnny, great to hear your trees are thriving at that height, and I’ll keep that in mind for another part of the yard. Your experience also helps confirm that for my hedge, I should look for another source that uses a dwarfing rootstock.
Thanks all...much appreciated!
