Rootstock
Seedlings
Product Overview
Quality rootstock seedlings are the key to a successful citrus nursery effort. Our seedlings are grown somewhat differently from other citrus nurseries. The seed is sorted by size, peeled, and sown into black plastic cones supplied by Country Plastics in nearby Woodlake, CA.
They germinate in a greenhouse designed specifically for rootstock seedlings and are ready for propagation within 120 days of sowing in the Warmer months. Uniformity is of high importance when establishing a nursery, and the container seedlings we supply are the best investment for your seedling dollar. They are grown on raised benches that can supply bottom heat if needed. The raised benches reduce the risk of disease contamination and ensure air circulation. Seedling orders must be made a minimum of 5 months in advance of the desired ship date.

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.
