They should be separated, njoasis. Your most dominant seedling is most likely the clone seedling (the variety you're trying to propagate), and the less vigorous seedlings are usually the embryonic seedling(s) (those developing from the fertilization of the seed, thus being some unknown hybrid). Most citrus are polyembryonic, so you can get both clonal seedlings that will true to type, as they are an exact clone of the mother plant, as well as zygotic seedlings (those created by some other citrus pollen fertilizing the zygote). Pommelos are usually not polyembryonic, so you will not have a seedling that will be the same as the mother tree. The Seville orange I believe is polyembroyonic and should have a clonal seedling (the bigger one) that is a clone of the mother tree. Your citron will be weakly to mildly polyembryonic. So, separate your seedlings and then mark them as the clone or the hybrid from each tree seed. You will see what your get as far as fruit goes in about 7 to 10 years, when they bear fruit. They might bear sooner, but usually seedlings will take much longer to bear fruit than their grafted counterparts. Patty S.

Nik: Just curious as to if you've contacted the site that I suggested in the UK. How far are they located from you? I was impressed with the variety of citrus that they stock. I wish I could purchase some of their citrus but I checked with them and they cannot ship plants, budwood or seeds into the US. So, from that prospective....you're lucky! From the comments that you made to Toni...sounds like better light would be helpful. I still contend that heavy, slow draining soil mixes, plus over watering cause a big percentage of citrus problems. Certainly, fertility, insects, light, temps, pot size, soil and water ph and such are issues too. Well, good luck...hope you can talk to David and his group...I'd bet they can be of help. Best of luck.. Joe in CO

Mantis, did you order a tree yet? I couldn't locate the var Bh on Asiatic..Let us know when it comes and plese describe..Is it grafted? Toni

A (long) while ago i actually tried to use neem oil as i found a home remedy for insects infesting's (not the same mites i have now) and this is the ingredients which was recommended when typed on google: Use a high quality, organic, cold pressed neem oil. Use warm water if possible. ... Mix the warm water with the soap first! Then slowly add the oil while stirring vigorously. Fill the mix into your sprayer i didn't use it on a sunny day (as they warned about) ,but the leaves got slightly discolored so i immediately stopped using it. Can it be the same case with the brought end-all product?
