description Troyer Citrange Overview
Troyer citrange is a citrus rootstock hybrid produced by crossing sweet orange with trifoliate orange. It was developed in California and became important in citrus production because it combines useful growth characteristics with tolerance to citrus tristeza disease, Phytophthora-related root problems, and relatively cold conditions. Troyer citrange is grown mainly for use as a rootstock, so it supports grafted citrus varieties rather than serving primarily as a dessert fruit. It is relevant to commercial citrus growers and rootstock researchers.
