WTB Sudachi seeds and related
« on: April 07, 2023, 06:46:41 PM »
My sister is getting into starting seeds from citrus and after starting some yuzu seeds, she wants to try other varieties. I'm hoping to keep her interested so i have someone I can talk to in person about citrus and gardening hahaha. I'm seeking Asian citrus in the same vein as yuzu like sudachi, mikan, and stuff like that.

Check the local Japanese markets, you will find them.

Does CA restrict seeds too?  I have a bunch of overripe sudachi fruits still hanging on the tree and they tend to be full of seeds

Does CA restrict citrus seeds too? I know scionwood and plants are restricted, but I was reading on this forum that seeds generally are safe (from HLB) so i thought it might be alright. I'll have to look into it further.

If seeds are safe to send to CA I can send you some for free. I have found you can ship anything 1/4" thick or less as a letter with a single stamp

I'm not sure if there is other documentation prohibiting seeds, but If I'm reading this document right, it seems CA carves out a specific exception for citrus seeds which leads me to think it is fine.
