Rooted
Cuttings

Product Overview

Rooted cuttings are smaller citrus trees grown on their own roots, making them an excellent choice for home gardeners and small-scale growers. Unlike trees grafted onto rootstocks, these cuttings may not be as disease-resistant, but they offer several advantages, especially for container gardening.

​

Advantages of Rooted Cuttings:

Ease of Transplanting: Rooted cuttings are simpler to transplant compared to citrus liners, making them ideal for beginners and hobbyists. Their smaller size and established root systems reduce transplant shock, ensuring a smoother transition to your garden or container.


Container Gardening: These trees thrive in small containers, perfect for patios, balconies, and backyards. Their compact size makes them suitable for urban gardening, allowing you to enjoy fresh citrus fruits even in limited spaces.


Quick Propagation: Our propagation process takes only 6-8 weeks, ensuring a fast turnaround to a finished product. This quick propagation time means you can enjoy your citrus trees sooner, with less waiting time compared to other methods.

 

Why Choose Rooted Cuttings?

Compact Size: Ideal for limited spaces and urban gardening. Rooted cuttings are perfect for those who want to grow citrus trees but lack the space for larger, grafted trees.
 

Cost-Effective: Generally, more affordable than grafted trees. Rooted cuttings provide a budget-friendly option for those looking to start their own citrus garden.

​

Genetic Consistency: Propagated from healthy parent plants, rooted cuttings ensure predictable growth, fruit quality, and performance.

​

Faster Establishment: With an existing root system, they adapt and grow quickly after planting, helping you reach production sooner.

​

Versatility: Suitable for both container growing and field planting, making them a flexible choice for various growing operations.

    TreeSource Citrus Nursery uses UPS Ground for most shipments within the U.S. Keep in mind that California nurseries can’t ship to Florida or Texas, but can ship to all other states and many foreign countries. Contact us for more information.
  • What is the optimal planting density for Valencia trees in a commercial orchard?
    The Valencia orange trees for sale at TreeSource come in various rootstocks, such as Rich 16-6 trifoliate, C-35, or Carrizo. All will require at least 20-feet of spacing across the row and no less than 10 feet down the row. This spacing is called “double density” planting and will require a tree to be removed in 10-12 years to allow the Valencia trees to fully mature.
  • What kind of certification or testing do the Valencia trees undergo to guarantee their health?
    At TreeSource Citrus Nursery, we grow our Valencia orange trees in CDFA- and USDA-certified greenhouses, following the highest standards of horticulture.. We use only certified budwood that is part of California’s Clean Stock Program.
  • Why should I choose a Valencia orange tree versus some other variety of citrus?
    Valencia orange trees for sale at TreeSource represent one of the easiest citrus trees to grow. They fruit prolifically every year, make the best fresh orange juice you can imagine, and are adaptable to almost any climate. Valencia trees can handle desert conditions, coastal conditions, dry climates, or humid ones. They are the most adaptable of any citrus variety and are counter-seasonal to navels and mandarins, so they are the fruit of choice if you desire year-round citrus fruit in your garden or citrus farm.
