11. P1 Varieties

The P1 varieties have undergone limited or no horticultural evaluation in Australia and budwood is sourced from nursery rapid multiplication trees where fruit checks have not been carried out.

Cara Cara in particular is known as an unstable budline and may produce chimaeral fruit or leaves.

It must be understood that trueness-to-type of these varieties cannot be guaranteed at this stage.

By placing this order, the purchaser acknowledges that the Premium P1 budwood supplied by Auscitrus has not been evaluated in Australia, and may not be true to type.

The purchaser agrees not to use the plants produced from this budwood as a budwood source for further propagations.
