US-1283 Citrandarin Trifoliate Hybrid Budwood

The major positive attributes of this new rootstock are induction of superior fruit productivity and good fruit quality on sweet orange trees grown in the Florida flatwoods and infected with Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), the causal agent of huanglongbing (HLB). This rootstock is being released for commercial use in Florida because of the urgent need for new citrus rootstocks that have improved tolerance to HLB.
