A composite orange tree comprising a fruiting cultivar scion grafted to a citrus-greening resistant rootstock, wherein the citrus-greening resistant rootstock is obtained from a seed of a feral or wild cultivar exhibiting citrus-greening resistance or obtained from tissues of a plant grown from the seed, wherein the citrus-greening resistant rootstock is further resistant to water having elevated levels of salt content of 1,000 ppm to 35,000 ppm, and wherein the seed is deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-124301.
A method of growing a citrus fruit in a citrus-greening environment comprising grafting a fruiting cultivar to a citrus-greening resistant rootstock to produce a composite citrus tree, wherein the citrus-greening resistant rootstock is obtained from a seed of a feral or wild cultivar exhibiting citrus-greening resistance or obtained from tissues of a plant grown from the seed, wherein the citrus-greening resistant rootstock is further resistant to water having elevated levels of salt content of 1,000 ppm to 35,000 ppm, and wherein the seed is deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-124301.
