Eureka lemon selections on Troyer citrange and trifoliate orange rootstocks exhibited symptoms of yellow ring incompatibility. Eureka lemon, however, was compatible with Benton citrange; cumulative yield and cropping efficiency were high and tree canopies dense and compact and juice quality high. Trees on Narara and Watkins selections of Rough lemon had high cumulative yields but their size and vigour made harvest difficult. One of the red Rough lemon selections (57-228-502) produced a high yielding and more manageable compact tree with a large proportion of summer crop fruit. Prior Lisbon lemon on trifoliate orange was a medium-sized, compact tree with high cropping efficiency and good juice quality, but produced a low proportion of its fruit for the more profitable summer market. Villafranca performed well on all rootstocks except Smooth Seville, but its juice quality was poor.
