To which thing are you referring to?

if youre talking about "forever seeds" its on their seed page (also these are colorful fingerlime cultivars not desert lime iirc)
i should add I feel naturally hesitant about nursery sites that rely entirely on stock images but thats not an automatic disqualifier (and australian nursery sites seem to be bigger on this than many american ones)

annnd I found a negative reivew on their FB :( https://www.facebook.com/pg/ForeverSeeds/posts/?ref=page_internal

Exactly, that's a major concern of mine! I'm also having a hard time finding reviews / vouches.

I think the CCPP does have scions available.

An old topic but I was looking for the same thing a while ago and didn't find much info apart from this topic.

So apart from Herbalistics I found another website selling Citrus glauca seeds: https://www.boutique-vegetale.com/p/citrus-glauca-desert-lime

It's French (which is perfect for me since I'm in Belgium), a bit pricey for just 5 seeds, and the "20210331" written on the packet I received made me fear I was sent old seeds that wouldn't germinate, but against all expectations all of them germinated.



Now I'm hoping they are indeed Citrus glauca, but at least that's a start.

How were they sent to you ? The damp method for perishable / short viable seed or the dry method for non perishable ?
Always wondered how some sellers handle Citrus seed especially out of season ?

SeeSchloss:
They were just sent in the small plastic ziploc you can see on the photo, in a padded envelope sent by regular mail.
Since it came from France it just took two days so the packaging wouldn't really matter, I don't know how they store them on their side, or how long, and I think that's what would matter most. Or where they get them from.

In my experience when citrus seeds are stored dry, at first it only makes them longer to germinate but doesn't really affect germination rate until at least a few weeks or maybe a couple of months. And maybe Citrus glauca seeds are also better at withstanding this, since they are a desert plant.

I received them on 14 September so they took between two and three weeks to germinate.
