Offering orange seeds to FL members

(1/2) > >>

D-Grower:
Have seeds from two different orange trees. My boss has trees on his land that have been growing there since about 120-130 years ago. Not necessarily the same trees but successive generations planted by seeds. His parents planted the originals in the very early 1900s. He's an old guy himself. He claims they come up more or less true from seed and are sweet and good. Said they are Valencia but I can tell there are two distinct types. First time I went to pick some today. Definitely aren't any graft marks on the oldest trees and there really is many from different generations. They are really good that is for sure. Sweet and juice worthy without sweetening. After seeing them in person I do believe him. Kumquats too from seed and are good as well as and a white grapefruit. He says they do take a long time to produce but they always turn out good just the same.

One type is a thinner skinned one and one is thicker skinned. Wanted to offer them since I juiced a ton and want not to toss all the seeds since I can see they really do end up good from seeds. If you pay shipping I'll send some to FL members. Definitely willing to trade for stuff too. I'm particularly looking for cold hardy edible nuts, fruits, perennial veggies and herbs, or annual heirloom veggies or herbs.

Thanks! DG

MameyDisco:
Citrus seeds should generally be kept moist. Some say otherwise, but the research is out there. I would like to take you up on your offer, sounds good. Thanks!

Go Florida... Bring back Florida oranges

efletche:
I wouldn't mind trying them.

noochka1:
I'd love to try them as in indoor plant.  Outdoor citrus trees get HLB pretty much immediately in my area.

Regards,
Scott

D-Grower:
Hit me up via PM to settle details and such. Will send them out Friday most likely so would like to gather up all interested parties by then.
