Citrus trifoliata

Flying Dragon is a dwarfing disease-resistant citrus rootstock, compatible with all citrus species, and particularly suitable for sweet orange cultivars.

Flying Dragon rootstock is very cold-hardy, down to -20C, and also imparts some additional cold-hardiness to the scion variety.

It is tolerant of damp soils over winter.

These rootstocks are bio-certified, and raised from seed. The rootstocks are naturally thorny, but this does not affect the scion variety.

Prices are per rootstock, contact us for a discount for larger quantities. The 1-year plants are about 35cm.
