No Citrus Fruits On Lemon Roots

Fruit Growing
Would it be any advantage to bud the Washington Navel on grapefruit and
lemon roots?
The grapefruit or pomelo is a good root for the orange, and some
propagators prefer it. The lemon root is not used at present, because of
its effect in causing a coarse growth of tree and fruit and because it
is more subject to disease than the orange root. In fact, we grow nearly
all lemons on orange roots.
