Rootstock seeds

Hi everyone,

After successfully grafting a handful of trees myself, I'm curious about grafting onto a commercial rootstock instead of the usual seeds from scion varieties. The only problem is I haven't found any way of obtaining rootstock seeds unless I buy them in batches of 4000 (which is obviously not ideal for a hobby citrus grower).

Has anyone had a similar experience, and if so, how did you obtain the seeds? I'm mainly looking for C-35 or Carrizo.

I could just buy another tree, chop off the scion, and let the rootstock grow--but that's far from ideal. I don't know if I have the heart to do that to a tree!

Thanks!

-Tom
