If it's fruit you wish to harvest,
bountiful and true to type.
For trees that grow with vigour,
resistant to disease and virus.
For harvest, health and happiness.
Success grows on grafted trees.
Why grafted
A worrying new trend is the selling of cutting grown citrus.
Quick and inexpensive to produce, a cutting grown tree offers the unwitting consumer a cheap alternative to a grafted tree.
It's Important to understand the risk of disease in a cutting grown tree, and potentially in the root system, then the disappointment from lack of fruit or poor tasting fruit, all that come in time, years down the track from a cutting grown tree.
A cutting grown tree does not offer the gardener the assurance and protection of a grafted tree.
Always purchase grafted trees.
“A robust, quality citrus tree will continue to thrive, long after you've forgotten what you paid for it”
— Citrus nurserymen
