Is dwarfing rootstock necessary?
Vlad:
I am planning on getting some citrus cuttings and propagating them. I need to decide whether I should root them or graft them. They will be grown in containers. So, should I root or graft?
poncirsguy:
I have never successfully rooted any citrus except poncirus hybrids Graft them
brian:
In containers you will likely be okay without dwarfing rootstock. When I transplanted some container oranges and grapefruit into the ground they got huge quickly, though

What Kind are you getting ? It could make a difference.
citrange:
If you grow citrus in containers in a 'non-citrus' climate, the container size probably has a greater effect on plant-size than rootstock. Even so, with a short summer growing season, a vigorous rootstock may be better than a dwarfing one.
From the point of view of propagation, some varieties root much more readily than others. If you have enough cuttings, try both rooting and grafting!
