| I have two bitter orange trees in my yard, and I read that this particular strain is most commonly grown to use as rootstock for other varieties of citrus. I was wondering if anybody knew if you can get donor cuttings from someone else's citrus tree and ship them to me in Texas, would they grow on my tree? I figure if this is not a viable solution, I would just replace the trees, so nothing lost if it is tried and does not work. I would be happy to pay to have cuttings shipped here, if you have some to give. |

| Just so you know some states have restrictions on sending or receiving citrus scions or plants. The quarantine effects several southern states. I think TX is one of them. The link below might give you more info.... |
