Limequat from seed to flower ~2 years!

(1/2) > >>

vnomonee:
In 2022 I bought some limequats from SayWeee. Tossed a few seeds in pots. Killed most of them from root rot. Today I notice that my remaining plant is flowering. Key limes are also known to flower from seed pretty quickly as well as the kumquat in its lineage.

brian:
Very nice! 

I have a grafted one, it's nice to have an off-season lime.  I am trying to graft it onto flying dragon to keep a small one.  I think mine is Lakeland but I have had Eustis and they are similar

vnomonee:
Good idea grafting it to keep it smaller. This one wants to grow as a spindly bush. I haven't pruned it though because I didn't want to cut a potential flowering branch, glad I didn't. I am also growing Mandarinquat again, will put into 5-1-1 mix or graft to an existing potted established rootstock. Hope it inherits the kumquat faster flowering vs waiting as long as a mandarin

Zardiw:
You can grow Key Lime from seed?......and they will produce?

vnomonee:
you sure can, all seed grown citrus will eventually produce given enough time
depending on the variety some will come true from seed (a clone of the mother plant) others will not, meyer lemon is a good example
