I was going to reply again and say your best choice would've been to hound the source company. Most companies eventually will respond, especially if you keep sending them various emails and leave phone messages. They'll start swatting at you to get rid of the annoying fly ;-) But glad they had great service once your request got routed OK. Since you love to know everything about your tree: There are several growers in this area (I live in Fresno, CA). Depends on what they mean by "near". It may have come from TreeSource http://www.citrustreesource.com/. Willits & Newcomb is another possibility and they produce great trees. Our local Lowes said they used to stock W&N trees but no longer, they source the same trees from C&M in Nipomo (that Walmart uses, too) as well as FourWinds. They are either C-32 or C-35. W&N is a solid operation and are building (or have built) protective shelters for their tree production. W&N produces lots of different citrus on the various stocks. For semi-dwarf and standard, their trees are beautiful, with a solid root ball, and are trained/pruned nicely. I'm not fond of their soil for container trees (it's good soil for in-ground, but is too heavy and compacted to keep it in the container). W&N trees are almost always color labeled on stock/scion and I have their color coding sheet. But I think you said yours don't have colors, rt? Anyway, as I stated earlier there isn't much doc on ID for various under stocks. Tons of research and general ed material on various stocks, but you may be interested to grow out a cutting from your stock that folks will be able to confirm the C-35.

Those paint markings are what field grown nurseries use for identifying scion and rootstock combinations. It is hard to tell from the photos the exact colors. Please list them here from top to bottom and we may be able to identify it for you. I say may because most nurseries use a standard color coding chart while some may have developed their own standards.

Okay, first, for the "conveniency" of your forum members, of whom you are requesting some assistance, it is appreciated by those forum members if those requesting help would post up the HTML links in your message, which will embed your photos directly into your message, thus skipping the need to go to another site to view your pics :-) It is very convenient for the poster to do this - I do it all the time - and it is a courtesy I extend to my forum member colleagues to make it as easy as possible for them to answer my questions :-) Almost all photo sharing sites will give their participants those links to embed photos. We sure do appreciate that, blkf. You don't have to, but don't count on as much assistance you you might wish. Some of our experts on this forum have both full time jobs as well as run commercial groves, so they have just a few spare moments to jump into the forum and try to help someone out. That being said, the first photos of the purported Meyer lemon is definitely not a Meyer lemon due to the winged petioles (all citrus have petioles - some are so tiny and short you can barely see them, some are longer, some are winged, both short and long). You are quite correct. It most likely is the grapefruit. The rest of the trees are some sort of trifoliate rootstock, the scion having died. So, if it were me, I would be shovel pruning those rootstock trees, and if you're interested, simply replace them with cultivars of your choosing. Patty S.

Dan, I like Carrizo root characteristics; but for planting in ground it is susceptible to several issues, in particular phytophera, which is not a problem in containers, and wet feet. Volkameriana tends to grow slower and produce fewer and larger fruits. Grapefruits are more tolerant of higher pH; in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, they grow them with 8,5 pH water and 8 pH soils; of course they have to chelated iron at that pH.
