Well, If the Citron was cross-pollinated by a Mandarin, knowing that Citrons are always mono embryonic, all seedlings should be hybrids (Citron X Mandarin). I was trying to select the most promising based on the leaf shape, and scent (still too early). Citrons have rounded leaves while all my seedlings have more pointed leaves closer to what mandarins or clementines have.

The 'mother fruit' is an Amalfitan Citron (not lemon) so the leaves should be rounded. I also planted some Sfusato Amalfitano Lemon seeds a couple of months back from a fruit I got my hands on. I selected the polyembyonic seedlings and grew them. Below is a picture of the two seedlings. I think the leaves' shapes should match that of its parent. Let me know.

ok, I don't have the citron variety, only the lemon.

Your seedling of the lemon has the similar shape and size, but not really the same edges. I'll try to take some photos this week and post it for you.

How do your seedlings and the original fruit compare to this Amalfi Citron from Italy ?

The leaves of your seedlings look closer to this than Citron leaves ??

Also, the seed in the fruit you uploaded don't really look like Citron seed to me. They seem rather big, more like Sour Orange seed ?

Thinking that the Amalfi Citron is possibly a Citron / Sour Orange hybrid ?

Alexmed95,
Sorry to intervene here, but since your are in Québec, you are aware that in French citron means a lemon. Are you sure that what you bought is not just an Amalfi cost lemon?
