Are Meyer lemons compatible with Sour Orange rootstock?

8 years ago

Anybody knows about their compatibility? I have a potted Meyer which is probably budded on trifoliate and I want to create a plant to grow in the ground. Trifoliate is not good in my conditions. Sour orange is the best (disregarding CVT) and I have sour orange seedlings available. As far as I know SO is compatible with most common citrus (oranges, lemons, mandarins) but I don't know about Meyers.

Sour orange is one of the very best root stocks,IF you do not reside in a location with CTV. We know that Sour Orange as a root stock is compatible with round oranges, and it is also compatible compatible with both lemons and mandarins. My best guess would be that it would also be very compatible with Meyer, because Meyer's two parents are lemon and orange.

Sour orange is a good rootstock for Meyers; but is susceptible to Citrus Tristeza Virus, and a little bit to wet feet.
