Abstract
Five rootstocks, `Carrizo' citrange, Citrus macrophylla, Rough lemon, `Swingle' citrumelo, and Citrus volkameriana, were selected for evaluation using `Limoneira 8A Lisbon' as the scion. Four years of yield and fruit packout data indicate that trees on C. volkameriana and C. macrophylla are superior to those on other rootstocks in growth and yield. `Swingle' and `Carrizo' are performing poorly, and Rough lemon is intermediate. In a similar trial, four `Lisbon' lemon selections, `Frost Nucellar', `Corona Foothills', `Limoneira 8A', and `Prior' selections of Lisbon lemon were selected for evaluation on Citrus volkameriana rootstock. Four years of yield and packout data indicate that the `Limoneira 8A Lisbon' selection has generally outperformed the other selections in both growth and yield, although `Corona Foothills' has been superior in the 1998-99 harvest season.
