hey cassie

typically they are grafted to put the scion on either a dwarfing rootstock or one with more disease and or cold resistance. I have read on other citrus forums that meyers do OK on their own roots, as in cuttings, but do better on other rootstocks. I know a lot of people who have great looking trees grown from cuttings so I dont really have an opinion on what was is "better"
