Basically, you choose a rootstock that is good for your soil, then graft on
whatever you want.

Over here, Sydney, NSW, it was Common Lemon stock, but I have no idea what
the current fashion is.

You propagate common lemon from cuttings, then gaft at 4'(?). Sigh, too
long since I learnt all that. The problem would be getting common lemon
stock. Just look for a thorn old lemon.
