Seed growing your citrus
« on: October 21, 2014, 10:19:08 PM »
Has anyone grown a Meyer lemon or Satsuma mandarin from seed to fruiting size.

Do they come true to type? How long do they averagely take to fruit

Satsuma true. Meyer lemon not true. Average to fruiting for inground is 5 years.

adrano2, grapefruit is among the worst choice to grow from seed.  They have the longest waiting time. - Millet

A friend waited 17 years for a cocktail grapefruit to bear fruit.
