Abstract
This updated 5th edition of the Florida Citrus Rootstock Selection Guide (FLCRSG) is a revision of the 2019 publication. The guide is a convenient, easy-to-use reference to 33 characteristics of over 50 rootstocks. Of those, 15 are time-honored commercial rootstocks (highlighted in blue), which are the most reliably characterized. The next rootstocks are minor commercial ones (highlighted in green) that are less frequently used today in Florida but may have been prominent at one time. The third group consists of the most recently released rootstocks (highlighted in yellow) for which there is limited commercial experience. The new addition includes three new USDA rootstocks and updates information on a few traits.
