Persian Lime Budwood

Citrus latifolia.

This budsource has been of much pre-release interest to many different persons in many areas of the world. It should, however, be used with caution until it is verified that it does not develop wood pocket under local conditions and cultivation practices. This is particularly true in very hot areas, where development of this problem is more rapid and intense.

See photo of the fruit with brown streaks on the rind, a typical symptom of wood pocket.

Rootstocks of accession: Carrizo citrange.

Season of ripeness at Riverside, California: October to December.
