I posted this here because you can use the 1 year seedlings to graft other citrus on to. I've got some flying dragon citrus seeds. Great for starting rootstocks for citrus grafting or growing as an ornamental. Looking for interest fruit/nut tree/bush seedlings/seeds (loquat,filbert,walnut, carob, etc.). Also, looking for mashua. I have tons of seeds as well. New packets of renee's seeds and more.

I'm sorry but I don't see anything I need. I have to be selective because I don't have unlimited space. Let me know if you have anything else not listed on there. Thanks for the reply.

We did an experiment several years ago to see what system of storage gave the best germination -- planting fresh out of the fruit, drying overnight then planting, drying several days then planting, extracting from the fruit and storing moist, in the fridge, for various number of weeks (to achieve cold-stratification, assuming they might need it), and storing refrigerated and dry (as is standard for commercial citrus seed). Of all the methods tried, by far the best germination was achieved by using tsmith2579's method -- planting immediately out of the fruit. If you've never extracted Poncirus seed, be forewarned -- wear rubber gloves, or plan to have a real challenge getting that sticky, vile-smelling juice off your hands! It's no fun at all.

Either method will work. If you sow the fresh seeds now, you need to provide warm conditions for germination. Takes a couple of weeks at 75-80F, slower if cooler. If you refrigerate the fruit, you shouldn't let them freeze. Seeds left in the cold fruits last well into spring. You can also store clean seeds in a bag in a refrigerator just above freezing. Like other citrus, you must not leave seeds to dry at room temperature. Viability is short in these conditions.
