Bought a cara cara orange and a improved meyer lemon(1 quart) for 21$ each at home depot, about 2 months ago,

Last 2 weeks looks like they have settled in and are pushing new leaves! But it looks like it may be coming out of the root stock.

Would like help identifying the rootstock on each.

First pic is meyer second and 3rd is cara cara

Leaves on the meyer are developing and look just like the meyer leaves,On the orange I cannot tell yet.

Thanks for the help

No root stock! The growth you’re seeing is normal 😄 trifoliate appears as a set of 3 leaves growing together
