Instead of collecting seeds, she might even have some babies coming up in the soil beneath the plants why doesn't she try cutttings, procedure follows: Cherrylaurel hardwood cuttings can be taken any time the growth is firm which is generally June/July through to the next April. Use rooting hormone, a peat & pearlite rooting mixture and mist. Rooting should take place in 4-6 weeks. Make certain she mists daily or puts plastic over the container out of the sun and she could be a year ahead of schedule. Here is a link that might be useful: Propagating Perennials

If you planted lemon seeds the resulting plants are lemons. They will not be true to variety but they will always be lemons- nothing "non-lemon" about them. Don't try and judge a plant by the appearance of the sprout- it's way too soon to tell. Of course it is always possible that a weed seed got in there, especially if they are outdoors. Birds deposit all sorts of seeds everywhere.

I posted a message on the Cornucopia forum but this forum may be more appropriate. I am living in Phnom Penh but I am happy to pay for all postage costs.

Hi Daisyduckworth, Yes you can use bush lemons (citronelles) in the same way as normal lemons. They are just a more primitive lemon. They are usually used as the root stock for grafted varieties. You will need a lot more of them to get much juice because they are very thick skinned, have heaps of seeds and are not as juicy. They are quite sweet and palatable. They are tough as old boots and will grow in arid or drought prone areas. Cheers, Dee.
