| Can you propagate Navel Oranges by rooting cuttings or Air Layering or is it more involved than that? |

| Yes, both of those methods will work. However, most orange trees are grafted/budded to a rootstock, since sweet orange roots are quite susceptible to phythophthora root rot and foot/crown rot. Grafting onto a resistant rootstock solves that problem. |

| Just a quick question.. Does this rot you speak of happen to container grown trees as well, or just in ground? Thanks so much |
