Don was speaking on the <a href=\"https:\/\/kdrt.org\/audio\/davis-garden-show-dec-14-2023\">December 14 broadcast<\/a> of the radio show he co-hosts, The Davis Garden Show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This made me think: Do I know <em>anyone<\/em> who likes Citation? Everyone I know who grows multiple kinds of stone fruit trees and has had some on Citation prefers other rootstocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(What&#8217;s a rootstock? See my post, <a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/fruit-tree-grafted\/\">&#8220;Your fruit tree is grafted: Why? And so what?&#8221;<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chuck Ingels<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first time I heard an unenthusiastic view of Citation was in 2017 from Chuck Ingels. During a talk at the University of California Master Gardener Conference, Chuck mentioned that peach trees on Citation didn&#8217;t last long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I registered that comment because I knew that Chuck had a lot of personal experience to draw from. He had grown innumerable fruit trees himself, observed many more, and edited the excellent book, <a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/the-home-orchard-a-book-review\/\"><em>The Home Orchard<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A friend<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A friend who grows many stone fruit trees on a small farm near me has also found Citation unsatisfactory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few years ago, he purchased ungrafted Nemaguard rootstocks and planted them near his peach and nectarine trees on Citation. Since then he has grafted the Nemaguard rootstocks to the scion (fruit) varieties he wants, with the plan to eventually remove the trees on Citation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watching the trees on both rootstocks grow side by side, he says he has seen that the Nemaguard trees are healthier overall and \u201cpower through leaf curl.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/citation-tree-beside-nemaguard-tree-during-peach-leaf-curl.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"764\" src=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/citation-tree-beside-nemaguard-tree-during-peach-leaf-curl.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19061\" style=\"width:491px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/citation-tree-beside-nemaguard-tree-during-peach-leaf-curl.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/citation-tree-beside-nemaguard-tree-during-peach-leaf-curl-980x749.jpg 980w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/citation-tree-beside-nemaguard-tree-during-peach-leaf-curl-480x367.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A couple of my friend&#8217;s nectarine and peach trees: Tree on Citation on left; small tree on Nemaguard on right.

I had a SpiceZee nectaplum on Citation next to a Snow Queen nectarine on Nemaguard rootstock. The SpiceZee grew more slowly, got worse peach leaf curl damage, and always took longer to grow out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had a Flavor Grenade pluot on Citation next to a Dapple Dandy pluot and a Flavor King pluot, both on Myrobalan 29C rootstock. Those trees have loads of fruit every year <em>and<\/em> grow every year. The Flavor Grenade on Citation, on the other hand, had loads of fruit but grew slowly. It wanted to fruit on small branches rather than develop a scaffold that could hold a real crop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/broken-limb-Flavor-Grenade-pluot-on-Citation-rootstock.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"725\" src=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/broken-limb-Flavor-Grenade-pluot-on-Citation-rootstock.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19059\" style=\"width:474px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/broken-limb-Flavor-Grenade-pluot-on-Citation-rootstock.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/broken-limb-Flavor-Grenade-pluot-on-Citation-rootstock-480x387.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 900px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">My Flavor Grenade pluot tree on Citation rootstock with a broken limb because I hadn&#8217;t thinned enough fruit.

The main appeal seems to be its weak growth. Yes, its weak growth is the feature. <a href=\"https:\/\/fruitsandnuts.ucdavis.edu\/rootstock-selection\">They call it a &#8220;dwarf&#8221;<\/a> or &#8220;semi-dwarf&#8221; rootstock, which sounds attractive to home growers who don&#8217;t have a large yard and want a smaller tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But described in another way, we can say it&#8217;s a slow and feeble rootstock. I would rather have a faster, stronger rootstock that I have to prune more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Citation alternatives<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of Citation, I prefer Nemaguard for peaches and nectarines. Don Shor prefers Lovell. Nemaguard and Lovell both make trees that grow faster than Citation, but which can easily be kept down in size through pruning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For plums and pluots, Myrobalan 29C has given me great results on a number of scion varieties. My trees on Myro 29C are tough and vigorous yet, as with the peaches and nectarines, I have no problem keeping them pruned down to the height of my reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/pluot-trees-on-myro-29c-rootstock.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"637\" src=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/pluot-trees-on-myro-29c-rootstock.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19063\" style=\"width:579px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/pluot-trees-on-myro-29c-rootstock.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/pluot-trees-on-myro-29c-rootstock-480x340.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 900px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Two of my pluot trees on Myrobalan 29C, blooming in March 2019.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Rootstocks perform differently in different soil conditions so your results may not be the same, but as you look for a bare-root tree to buy this winter, check the tag for the rootstock.
