 Trifoliate orange - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trifoliate Orange (Poncirus trifoliata) is a member of the family Rutaceae, closely related to Citrus, and sometimes included in that genus, being sufficiently closely related to allow it to be used as a rootstock for Citrus.
It is native to northern China and Korea, and is also known as the Chinese Bitter Orange.
The fruits are green, ripening to yellow, and 3-4 cm diameter, resembling a small orange, but with a finely downy surface.

 Sundry Hybrids and Rootstocks
Tree is evergreen or semi-deciduous, usually trifoliolate, deciduous; not as cold-resistant as the trifoliate orange.
In early 1985, citrange hybrids 'C35' and 'C32' ('Ruby' orange X trifoliate orange) were released by the Citrus Research Center, Riverside, California, for trial as rootstocks because of their resistance to the citrus nematode, also to Phytophthora spp.
Trials in Morocco in 1972-1973 with scions of sour orange, sweet orange, mandarin orange, grapefruit, lemon and rough lemon, and inoculated Volkamer rootstock, showed it to be highly susceptible to gummosis caused by Phytophthora citrophthora in contrast to 'Carrizo' citrange rootstock's high resistance.

 Floridata: Citrus sinensis
The caterpillar, called an "orange dog", is itself a spectacular creature - it looks like a 2 in (5.1 cm) long white and brown mottled bird dropping until disturbed, at which time it extends a bizarre pair of bright orange antler-like "scent horns" (osmateria) that stink to high heaven.
Freshly picked oranges are tastier than those bought in the market which usually have been "de-greened" with ethylene gas, washed with detergent, colored with orange dye, coated with wax, and stored for who-knows-how-long under refrigeration.

Although mechanical transmission from orange, mandarin or grapefruit is less efficient than from lemon (Garnsey,1968), once the viroid is present it will spread from tree to tree throughout an orchard over a period of time by hedging, pruning, clipping of fruit or collecting of budwood.
At first the diagnosis of exocortis was a long-term process in which trifoliate orange or Rangpur lime as a rootstock, under a vigorous growing scion such as lemon, was inoculated and placed in the field.

Most trifoliates are self compatible and produce zygotic and nucellar seedlings, and most accessions in germplasm collections are propagated vegetatively.
Technical Abstract: Trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata) is frequently used as a parent in citrus rootstock breeding, but the amount of genetic diversity in germplasm collections is poorly understood.

In 1992, the trifoliate orange and the 'Sunki' mandarin were the rootstocks of smallest height for 'Tahiti' lime trees, with differences in relation to 'African' rough lemon (Table 1).
Diameter and canopy volume were smaller for trifoliate orange and 'Sunki' mandarin trees, being different from those budded on 'Rangpur' lime, 'African' rough lemon and 'Volkamer' lemon.
In spite of their low cumulative yield, trees budded on 'Sunki' mandarin and trifoliate orange obtained the same yield efficiency as those on 'Rangpur' lime and 'C-13' citrange, exceeding those budded on 'African' rough lemon, 'Volkamer' lemon' and 'Cleopatra' mandarin.

 March Timely Tips 2002
Mainstream citrus (oranges, grapefruit, kumquats) are seasonal plants, requiring cool temperatures for fruit to color, and having a main bloom season in the spring.
The trifoliate orange is an upright tree with a strong central leader and branches that grow at narrow angles to the trunk.
While not as hardy as the trifoliate orange or the Ichang papeda, kumquats go completely dormant in the winter and are slow to break dormancy in the spring, waiting until temperatures consistently reach 65ºF (18ºC).
