I planted a Hamlin orange and the deer kept eating it.
Soon the sour orange sprouted below the graft and the part I wanted croaked.
I let the sour orange continue to grow until there was a sprout on the Hamlin graft.
Here it is after I cut off the sour orange root stock suckers a new Hamlin sprout.
One thing for certain it has one heckler of a root system now.
