Bureau <strong>of</strong> Citrus <strong>Budwood</strong> Registration<br />
Michael Kesinger, Chief<br />
The Bureau <strong>of</strong> Citrus <strong>Budwood</strong> Registration regulates citrus budwood distribution in <strong>Florida</strong>’s<br />
commercial citrus nurseries. Testing propagating material and maintaining protected foundation<br />
budwood clean stock is fundamental to keeping graft-transmissible diseases out <strong>of</strong> nurseries and<br />
ultimately providing growers clean stock to plant. The citrus nursery industry has made significant<br />
investments in nursery infrastructure to safeguard nursery stock from threatening pathogens.<br />
Inspection and testing by the Division <strong>of</strong> Plant Industry complement industry efforts to manage disease<br />
threats. The combination <strong>of</strong> proper structures, management, clean stock and regular monitoring are<br />
effective in growing disease-free trees. Major advancements in the technology <strong>of</strong> laboratory<br />
equipment has allowed for greater sensitivity in testing for plant pathogens.<br />
The Chiefland <strong>Budwood</strong> Foundation facility has approximately 1.5 acres <strong>of</strong> secure greenhouse<br />
growing areas which are used to provide registered nurseries with clean stock material. Nurseries must<br />
obtain their original source stock from the Chiefland Foundation. Citrus nurseries can then establish<br />
their own scion or increase source material from the foundation stock. One key to the whole process is<br />
maintaining the proper identity <strong>of</strong> each propagation every step <strong>of</strong> the way. All nurseries must report all<br />
citrus propagation to the budwood <strong>of</strong>fice on Bud Cutting <strong>Report</strong>s that identify the source <strong>of</strong> all<br />
propagations and their locations within the nursery. These reports can be used to trace source material<br />
back to original parent sources. Fiscal year budwood cutting in <strong>Florida</strong> nurseries amounted to 3<br />
million bud eyes for 2009-<strong>2010</strong>. The Chiefland <strong>Budwood</strong> Foundation cut and distributed 241,650 bud<br />
eyes for industry use this year. Since the beginning <strong>of</strong> the budwood program, over 13 million bud eyes<br />
have been distributed from foundation trees - bringing in over $892,000 in revenue.<br />
The 241,650 bud eyes cut from Chiefland this year were an 82 % increase from the amount cut last<br />
year. This amounts to 8% <strong>of</strong> the total industry demand for budwood and represents the highest<br />
demand for foundation budwood in recent memory. <strong>Budwood</strong> sales from Chiefland brought in<br />
$55,396 <strong>of</strong> revenue to the division. One hundred thirty-five different clones were cut this year, and<br />
distributed to 36 different customers, including 29 nurseries. <strong>Budwood</strong> was cut on 78 days with 185<br />
separate bud cutting reports processed.<br />
The lowest temperature recorded outside the Chiefland greenhouse during the winter <strong>of</strong> <strong>2010</strong> was 15<br />
degrees. Approximately 6,360 gallons <strong>of</strong> LP gas were burned this year to keep greenhouse<br />
temperatures above 50 degrees. The Citrus <strong>Budwood</strong> Technical Advisory Committee met once this<br />
year in the Chiefland conference room, and the Division <strong>of</strong> Plant Industry held 2 staff meetings at<br />
Chiefland this fiscal year.<br />
Currently 1,091 spaces are planted at Chiefland. This is an increase <strong>of</strong> 120 trees from last year. Extra<br />
tree spaces were obtained by planting many <strong>of</strong> the new selections closer together in the rows, as close<br />
as a foot and a half apart. The planted trees represent 338 different clonal selections. Some older<br />
clones were removed from the planting and new clones added resulting in a net increase <strong>of</strong> 17 clones.<br />
The Chiefland foundation planting is 35.7% sweet orange (389 trees), representing 83 different sweet<br />
orange varieties. Mandarins make up 28.9% <strong>of</strong> the planting (315 trees), representing 82 varieties.<br />
Grapefruit is represented with 100 trees <strong>of</strong> 26 varieties, and consists <strong>of</strong> 9.2% <strong>of</strong> the planting.<br />
<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2010</strong> (FY 2009-<strong>2010</strong>) Bureau <strong>of</strong> Citrus <strong>Budwood</strong> Registration 1
The Chiefland greenhouse structure and trees are inspected every day by on-site staff. Another<br />
monthly inspection is performed by plant industry nursery inspection staff. Close monitoring is<br />
important to prevent breeches in the structure that could jeopardize the clean stock. Visitors are not<br />
permitted access to the growing areas <strong>of</strong> the Chiefland facility; although a small viewing window is<br />
present to allow the curious a glance inside.<br />
Twenty-eight new varieties were planted at Chiefland this year. New varieties must be grown and<br />
fruited out before an <strong>of</strong>ficial industry release. Researchers frequently plant new varieties in trial<br />
plantings before <strong>of</strong>ficial release, so attributes and characteristics under <strong>Florida</strong> growing conditions can<br />
be more fully known. New varieties enter the budwood program from three different means. Varieties<br />
coming from outside <strong>Florida</strong> must enter through the Citrus Germplasm Introduction Program (CGIP)<br />
for quarantine and pathogen testing before being taken to Chiefland. Research agencies and instate<br />
breeding programs are continually developing new scions and rootstocks specifically for <strong>Florida</strong>’s<br />
needs. New varieties, originating from <strong>Florida</strong> research agencies enter through the budwood program<br />
and are tested in the DPI Winter Haven laboratory and biological greenhouses, and are usually shoottip<br />
grafted to remove any pathogens. Citrus growers can also enter varieties into the parent tree<br />
program, and they have been responsible for entering many new selections from better yielding trees or<br />
unique finds in their groves. Thirty-four new selections entered the budwood program’s parent<br />
candidate program this fiscal year and 48 different shoot-tip grafted selections were released.<br />
Improvements in the shoot-tip grafting laboratory include the acquisition <strong>of</strong> a two new microscopes.<br />
The first scope has higher magnification and better optics than our previous equipment for performing<br />
the shoot-tip grafting. The second scope is a teaching microscope used to train shoot-tip grafting<br />
techniques to employees and visiting scientists from other programs, and for team projects.<br />
The number <strong>of</strong> commercial citrus nursery propagations were lower this year by 763,073 or 20%.<br />
<strong>Florida</strong> nurserymen made 3,001,186 propagations in 2009-<strong>2010</strong>. The decline in nursery production is<br />
attributed to fewer sweet oranges being propagated, as every other citrus type saw increased<br />
production in 2009-<strong>2010</strong>. While sweet orange propagations were down by 957,104, grapefruit and<br />
mandarin propagations increased in both number and percentage <strong>of</strong> the propagations. Grapefruit<br />
accounted for 7.4% <strong>of</strong> all propagations compared to 4.7% last year. Mandarins accounted for 8.3% <strong>of</strong><br />
propagations compared to 4.1% last year. Sweet oranges declined, from 89% <strong>of</strong> the propagations to<br />
79.7%, this year.<br />
The average nursery made 67 thousand propagations this fiscal year. Forty-one percent <strong>of</strong> <strong>Florida</strong>’s<br />
nursery trees are produced in Polk County, where the budwood <strong>of</strong>fice and the majority <strong>of</strong> the citrus<br />
nursery inspectors are headquartered. One hundred seventy-two different clones representing 148<br />
different varieties were propagated this fiscal year. Although the citrus industry utilizes only a handful<br />
<strong>of</strong> varieties in commercial plantings, the dooryard (homeowner) market employs a greater assortment<br />
<strong>of</strong> citrus types. It is estimated that ten to fifteen percent <strong>of</strong> the total reported nursery propagations are<br />
destined for dooryard trees. Valencia and Hamlin were the top two varieties propagated, making up 37<br />
and 33 percent <strong>of</strong> nursery propagations, respectively. Midsweet was the third most popular variety at<br />
3.3 percent <strong>of</strong> nursery propagations, followed by Ray Ruby grapefruit at 3.2%, Glen Navel at 3.0% and<br />
Ruby Red grapefruit at 2.3%. Murcott was the most popular mandarin type propagated, followed<br />
closely by Mineola. Swingle was the most popular rootstock used for budding. This is the 22nd year<br />
that Swingle has been the top-utilized rootstock. Nursery trees on Swingle account for 45 % <strong>of</strong> all<br />
propagations. Kuharske citrange and Carrizo citrange were the 2nd and 3rd most utilized rootstocks,<br />
accounting for 17% and 14% <strong>of</strong> propagations, respectively. Sour Orange and Cleopatra mandarin were<br />
the next most popular rootstocks at 7.5 and 3.5 % respectively, followed by X-639 at 3.1%, Kinkoji at<br />
2.7% and Volkamer lemon at 2.2%.<br />
<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2010</strong> (FY 2009-<strong>2010</strong>) Bureau <strong>of</strong> Citrus <strong>Budwood</strong> Registration 2
The bureau conducted 44,299 pathogen tests in 2009-<strong>2010</strong>. Every program foundation and scion<br />
source tree is tested annually for citrus tristeza virus and citrus greening. Testing for other pathogens<br />
occurs on a routine basis, with a different pathogen focus each year. This year, citrus tatter leaf virus<br />
and citrus psorosis virus were tested for in program sources. A paper titled “Increased Efficiency and<br />
Sensitivity for Identifying Citrus Greening and Citrus Tristeza Virus using Real-time PCR testing” was<br />
published by bureau laboratory personnel in the Proceedings <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Florida</strong> State Horticultural Society<br />
in 2009.<br />
All nursery budwood sources are required to be grown in protected greenhouses that have to be<br />
approved by the Division <strong>of</strong> Plant Industry, while seed source trees can be field grown. Scion trees<br />
are responsible for providing 50% <strong>of</strong> the propagation material for citrus nurseries, with the average<br />
scion tree producing 784 bud eyes. Increase trees, which can originate from either foundation or scion<br />
trees, accounted for 42% <strong>of</strong> nursery propagation material. Qualifying increase trees, those originating<br />
from foundation trees, can be converted to scion trees by being witnessed and tested for pathogens.<br />
The bureau witnessed 1,276 scion trees this fiscal year: 1,171 budwood scion, and 1,105 seed source<br />
trees. The total number <strong>of</strong> scion tees in the program stands at 9,529, <strong>of</strong> which 5,722 are budwood<br />
scion and 3,807 seed source. Source tree registration revenue amounted to $38,985 for the fiscal year.<br />
The first find <strong>of</strong> citrus canker in the <strong>Florida</strong> Citrus Arboretum was in March <strong>of</strong> <strong>2010</strong>. The find was on<br />
the outside row <strong>of</strong> grapefruit trees. To protect the remainder <strong>of</strong> the arboretum, three rows <strong>of</strong> grapefruit<br />
have been removed. The first find <strong>of</strong> citrus greening in the arboretum, which was one <strong>of</strong> the first finds<br />
in Polk County, was in August <strong>of</strong> 2007. Removal <strong>of</strong> trees with citrus greening in the arboretum has<br />
also been aggressive. The first year, 2 trees were identified with HLB and removed (FY 2008),<br />
followed by 2 trees in the second year (FY 2009). Eleven trees were found positive and removed from<br />
the arboretum in the fall <strong>of</strong> 2009 (FY <strong>2010</strong>), followed by an additional 4 trees in the spring <strong>of</strong> <strong>2010</strong><br />
(FY <strong>2010</strong>). Twenty-three trees were reset in the arboretum in <strong>2010</strong>, and 16 were reset the previous<br />
year.<br />
The Dundee foundation facility, which has not been used for budwood cutting since 2005-2006, has<br />
been taken over by the Division <strong>of</strong> Plant Industry’s Bureau <strong>of</strong> Methods Development and Biological<br />
Control. Dundee barns and greenhouses are being renovated for a biological control rearing facility<br />
for parasites <strong>of</strong> the Asian citrus psyllid. This use <strong>of</strong> the facility should help in the industry’s battle<br />
against citrus greening.<br />
This year’s report contains new data and more information than ever before. Eight pages are devoted<br />
to providing clonal background information, including a brief history and description <strong>of</strong> selections<br />
propagated within the past five years. Program files were used to provide a historic data recap <strong>of</strong><br />
budwood cutting from various foundation locations throughout the years. The foundation budwood<br />
cutting report can be found on page 7. Participant activity is highlighted on page 6, providing a<br />
historic look at new budwood program participants by year.<br />
“At the Division <strong>of</strong> Plant Industry we protect the food supply<br />
and help keep it safe, affordable and abundant.”<br />

In the early years, a smaller portion <strong>of</strong> the budwood cut was platted as the program was voluntary and not all nurseries returned plats. Only<br />
those propagations that were properly platted were designated as registered (certified until 1958/59) and reported in the totals. Numbers taken<br />
from Bud Cutting <strong>Report</strong>s would be much higher.<br />

amount budded figure is used when numbers are divided by various rootstocks and amount cut is used when budded information is not available.<br />
<strong>Report</strong>ed propagations in prior years were artificially low, as not all nurseries submitted bud usage and only platted buddings were counted.<br />

A data project was begun in 2004 to archive old records from the Bureau <strong>of</strong> Citrus <strong>Budwood</strong> Registration in a database. This project draws data<br />
from several different <strong>of</strong>fice record sources that frequently differ in the way they were calculated. New validated releases were tabulated in a<br />
separate book from registered propagations and have to be combined when entered into database tables. This project resulted in corrections made<br />
to some nursery propagation figures as these different records were reconciled. This project is now complete.<br />

<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2010</strong> (FY 2009-<strong>2010</strong>) Bureau <strong>of</strong> Citrus <strong>Budwood</strong> Registration 18
Lab <strong>Report</strong><br />
The main improvement this fiscal year for the annual qPCR testing was to quantitate the actual amount <strong>of</strong><br />
nucleic acids in each sample. All samples are adjusted so the optimal amount <strong>of</strong> nucleic acids are used in<br />
each assay. Using the optimal amount for each test, improved the sensitivity <strong>of</strong> our testing. Once again,<br />
testing for Citrus greening (HLB) showed that all <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Budwood</strong> source trees in the foundation and screen<br />
houses tested negative. Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) testing detected 5 trees with severe isolates <strong>of</strong> CTV. This<br />
is the second time these trees were tested by the more sensitive qPCR, and the first time with a known<br />
quantity <strong>of</strong> nucleic acids. We do not expect to detect any more trees with severe CTV.<br />
The extract from the one annual collection was this year used to test source trees for Citrus psorosis virus<br />
and Citrus tatter leaf virus (Apple stem grooving virus). Initially foundation trees were tested one time for<br />
these viruses by biological indexing. They were not retested. These two qPCR tests detected only Citrus<br />
tatter leaf virus in Buddha’s hand. It is being Shoot-tip grafted to remove this pathogen.<br />
We were able to fill our vacant Laboratory Technician IV position in January. This position is important for<br />
support in the annual collections, extraction <strong>of</strong> samples, and biological indexing. However the additional<br />
daily support in Shoot-tip grafting allows us to continue to increase the number <strong>of</strong> selections that we receive,<br />
clean up and complete. An important Agricultural Technician III position became vacant with the retirement<br />
<strong>of</strong> the incumbent after ten years <strong>of</strong> service. Hiring good people and intensive training in the complexities <strong>of</strong><br />
the different jobs continues to be a focus in the testing areas.<br />
Over fifty percent <strong>of</strong> the laboratory effort is now going into the cleanup <strong>of</strong> new and existing varieties. This<br />
supports our mission <strong>of</strong> having all possible <strong>Florida</strong> Germplasm selections as disease free as possible and kept<br />
safe in our screen house facility at Chiefland.<br />
Thirty-four new entries were made into the Parent Tree Indexing Program and 48 parents and/or STGs were<br />
released this year. As we continued to increase STG production in 2009-<strong>2010</strong>, we again had our greatest<br />
production <strong>of</strong> shoot-tip grafts. The number set up increased to 2165 shoot-tip grafts, <strong>of</strong> these, 138 were<br />
grafted into rootstocks in the greenhouse. At the end <strong>of</strong> the fiscal year 42 cultivars were in the process <strong>of</strong><br />
being shoot-tip grafted. Sixty-three cultivars have been successfully STGed and are undergoing various<br />
stages <strong>of</strong> testing.<br />

Dream was found as a budded tree in a Seminole county near Sanford in a grove by D. J Dream. The original tree<br />
was discovered in 1939 when it was approximately 25-30 years old. Most likely a bud mutation from Washington.<br />
Dream was patented by him in 1944. The origin <strong>of</strong> the Dream clone entered into the <strong>Florida</strong> budwood program is<br />
from budwood from Nicholson nursery’s mother tree in Orlando which was the source for Barfield groves located<br />
north <strong>of</strong> Lake Alfred. The <strong>Florida</strong> Citrus <strong>Budwood</strong> Registration Program entered two parent candidates from the<br />
Barfield property, which were virus and viroid infected. A shoot-tip graft selection from the Barfield parent is the<br />
one currently used in the <strong>Florida</strong> budwood program. The budwood program clone was entered into the program in<br />
1975 and is identified as (DPI-58). The fruit is high quality, medium size, smaller than some <strong>Florida</strong> navels, early<br />
maturing, average brix/acid ratios, and has an open non-protruding navel. Holds on tree better than most Navels.<br />
Like most navels its does not do well on rough Lemon rootstock.<br />

numerous seeds, pyriform pulp vesicles, small, crenate leaves, acid, aftertaste, very thorny, small leaves. From<br />
Wikipedia: The finger lime has been recently popularized as a gourmet bushfood. The globular Juice vesicles have<br />
been likened to a "caviar lime", which can be used as a garnish or added to various recipes. The fresh vesicles have<br />
the effect <strong>of</strong> a burst <strong>of</strong> effervescent tangy flavor as they are chewed. The fruit juice is acidic and similar to that <strong>of</strong> a<br />
lime. Marmalade and pickles are also made from finger lime. The finger lime peel can be dried and used as a<br />
flavoring spice.<br />

This clonal selection that was made at the Pless Nursery in Thonotosassa in Hillsborough County and entered into<br />
the budwood program in 1970. Joseph Robles obtained seed from Madrid Spain after 1851 and planted a grove in<br />
Tampa. His son, Green Robles, later planted a seedling grove from the strain. Leon Hanna obtained budwood from<br />
Green’s grove and planted his own grove around 1900, naming the variety after Joseph. Roble is probably as early<br />
in maturity as the Parson Brown. Seediness and juice color are equal to the Parson. Solids are competitive with<br />
the Valencia orange on sour orange rootstock. The peel is orange in color with a thick and rough texture like the<br />
Parson. The acid drops rapidly once it is past maturity. Roble is not recommended to be budded on Swingle or<br />
other trifoliate hybrid type rootstocks.<br />
Rohde is a deeper colored Valencia selection. This cultivar appeared as a limb sport in a Highlands County grove in<br />
1955, and was propagated by Mr. Paul Rohde and others in several Polk County locations. Clean stock budwood<br />
became available through the Citrus <strong>Budwood</strong> Registration Program in early 1983. Fruit is typical <strong>of</strong> many old line<br />
Valencia oranges in size and production, but develops a deeper juice color. Color scores have ranged from 39-40.<br />
Those selections have shown some tendency to be unstable and occasionally bear fruit <strong>of</strong> standard Valencia-type<br />
on certain limbs. Nurserymen are cautioned to select budwood from trees demonstrating good production and<br />
good color characteristics in the fruit. This was clone selected as the most stable and highest yielding <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Rohde’s, comparable to the highest yielding nucellar Valencia’s.<br />
Originated from Dr. Mort Cohen’s closed pollination selections made at the grove near Century Tower, on the<br />

Our Vision<br />
The Bureau <strong>of</strong> Citrus <strong>Budwood</strong> Registration will provide high yielding, pathogen tested, quality budlines that<br />
will positively impact the productivity and prosperity <strong>of</strong> our citrus industry.<br />
Our Mission<br />
The Bureau <strong>of</strong> Citrus <strong>Budwood</strong> Registration administers a program to assist growers and nurserymen in<br />
producing citrus nursery trees that are believed to be horticulturally true to varietal type, productive, and free<br />

The <strong>Florida</strong> budwood program has positively impacted <strong>Florida</strong> citrus, as the use <strong>of</strong> registered budwood<br />
selections, or “budlines”, is responsible for impressive increases in yield and fruit quality in the industry. The<br />
budwood program introduced many nucellar lines that are still the basis <strong>of</strong> many <strong>of</strong> our main varieties. The<br />
ability to test for graft-transmitted pathogens, and exclude unclean propagating material, has not only increased<br />
production and tree longevity, but also the ability <strong>of</strong> our groves to withstand other environmental stresses.<br />
Diseases are kept out <strong>of</strong> the propagation system<br />
o Using clean nursery stock means growers receive disease-free trees coming out <strong>of</strong> the nursery<br />
Testing for citrus viroids is more critical than ever, as the industry uses predominantly citrange<br />
and citrumelo type rootstocks that are more susceptible to viroids<br />
o The budwood program is credited with having viroid-free trees for the industry to use when the rootstocks<br />
were changed from rough lemon and sour orange to Carrizo and Swingle<br />
Other countries without budwood programs had major viroid problems when changing rootstocks<br />
away from sour orange<br />
Citrus tristeza virus strains are worse today than a few years ago<br />
o Stem pitting tristeza virus strains have been found in several commercial grove locations in <strong>Florida</strong><br />
Psorosis virus is becoming hard to find in <strong>Florida</strong> after 50 years <strong>of</strong> budwood registration<br />
o Prior to the budwood program psorosis was widespread in <strong>Florida</strong><br />
Yields in psorosis infected trees were reduced 10 to 35 percent<br />
Resistance to freezes and other environmental factors were compromised with infected trees<br />
Protection <strong>of</strong> our industry from exotic citrus diseases requires controlling citrus propagating<br />
material<br />
o Citrus greening is the latest disease to move from the exotic disease list to become an endemic disease<br />
o Citrus variegated chlorosis and citrus sudden death are examples <strong>of</strong> pathogens whose main means <strong>of</strong><br />
control is budwood certification<br />
Grove trees started from clean stock have the potential to be pr<strong>of</strong>itable even in the presence <strong>of</strong><br />
disease, whereas nursery trees started systemically infected will never become pr<strong>of</strong>itable grove<br />
trees<br />
Yields are increased with registered budwood clonal selections<br />
o Nucellar Valencia clones alone increased yields by 25% over old line selections<br />
o Examples <strong>of</strong> registered clonal selections in every variety show remarkable yield gains<br />
True to type varieties and rootstocks are propagated<br />
o Inspected trees with <strong>of</strong>f-types are removed from budwood supply<br />
<strong>Budwood</strong> programs are recognized worldwide as the most effective means <strong>of</strong> excluding and<br />
containing citrus graft-transmissible pathogens<br />
