    I have a Cocktail Grapefruit and a Tangor both on dwarf rootstock. I have a couple people asking me for cuttings. Will the cuttings grow dfrom my trees? If so will they grow to larger trees in the right climate etc?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Yes, you can propagate by cuttings, preferably semi-hardwood. However the trees will grow to be standard sized in the absence of a dwarfing rootstock.

    Good luck with your trees. It's good to know there is now a bigger pool of varieties in the local area. I may ask for cuttings in the future ;)
