Narrative

This accession is grafted onto a new Huanglongbing (Citrus Greening)-resistant USDA rootstock introduction, Citrus x aurantium 'US SuperSour 4' (see Bowman, K.D. 2023. Four new SuperSour rootstocks for improved production of sweet orange in a Huanglongbing environment. HortScience. 58(12), 1622-1625.) Under the rules of international nomenclature for cultivated plants, the name of the plant is the scion, so its rootstock is merely an aspect of the accession in this case. Plants were brought by Bowman from Florida to the 2025 USDA Agricultural Outlook Forum. Due to regulations restricting interstate movement of Citrus, the plants could not be returned to Florida, and were instead donated to the U.S. National Arboretum.
