Yes, you can't rush the node count. I have a bunch of new seed going now. I'll be grafting up some from my mother tree this spring.
I have always enjoyed people telling me I can't grow something here... I have always proved them wrong.

Hey Tom. Yes the same fruit. Took 5 years from seed to fruit. I took budwood from my original tree & sold it. Grafted a tree from my budwood & it has fruited every year since.

Normal winters we get down to mid / low 20's for a few hours at night maybe 7-10 nights a year. We are a pretty solid 9a.

Grew it from seed I was sent from France back in 2005. One thing a lot of people don't realize is almost all citrus hybrids come true from seed.

Not citrus, but a palm. There are quite a few in central & northern FL. I have been looking for this for a few years now Any help locating seed or seedlings would be great! They look a lot like queen palms, but the trunks on younger trees are loaded with spines...

Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: My first trifoliata crop! Question:
« on: December 14, 2016, 03:49:33 PM »
They really don't need much to germinate. The fruit that fall on the ground here all germinate in clumps in the spring. I'm constantly ripping them out & throwing them in the trash.

On a side note, I'm in the process of taking out 30 citrus trees, planted too many satsumas & other citrus I don't use. The Harbor Freight chipper does a awesome job of turning them into mulch.

Never used to be a issue with seeds unless laws have changed.

Bob, you probably remember the ruby red I grew from seed from the store. It is now over 25 ft tall and loads up every year.

Hey guys. I got rid of most of my container stuff. Still have a few lemons in containers, but most everything else is in the ground & doing well. Forumup is gone without any warning.
The Blood clementine has a raspberry flavor to it.

Blood clementine, Rudy red, variegated orange & Australian bloodlime.
