Albino Citrus
« on: November 25, 2024, 10:47:31 PM »
Ok, I thought it would be interesting to see what citrus varieties get the albino branches spontaneously.

I have 3-4 branches that are albino. Here's a few below that you might like. If you have any branches or seedlings that are mostly albino, then please post your photos.

I have seeds from some of these fruits and also from other variegated citrus fruits so I will try to grow them out and see if anyone of them will survive.

Laaz told me a while ago that only a few variegated citrus fruits will survive, the rest just dies as soon as it starts to grow out leaves.

A pure albino (without any green at all)  will certainly die as soon ass the seed energy runs out.

Yes, I do notice that. I was hoping seedlings from the variegated fruit tree would grow to be variegated plants but so far, they have all been albino seedlings and die out.
