    I guess no one knows. Are there places I could find seeds for rootstock?

    Unless you have a resale license it may be
    tough for you to buy Citrus seedlings from
    a wholesale nursery in California. Some
    nurseries will ask you what your intentions
    are before letting go of their seedlings as
    well, even if you do have a resale license.

    You might want to try to contact some of
    the California Rare Fruit Growers affiliate
    member nurseries. The link to those
    member sources has been provided in this
    forum before. If you do not mind buying
    quantities of 100 minimum seedlings then
    you may want to contact Willits & Newcomb
    nursery or Pacific Tree Farms. and see if they
    can make an contract arrangement with you
    but if you only want a few seedlings then
    you may have to contact people in the Citrus
    Growers forum and see if you can legally
    bring them in from out of state. You may
    even consider growing your own seedlings
    to use as a parent rootstock by gathering
    up seed from fallen fruit in your area.
