HAVE: Rough Lemon/bush lemon seeds

18 years ago

Posted by paradisi Sunshine Coast (My Page) on Tue, Jul 19, 05 at 21:58

on another forum I told about finding a very old, unusual lemon. The taste is almost sweet and the fruit almost edible.

Here's a photo of some fruit:

The seeds won't last long because I'm juicing at the moment and I think the security guards at the building site will strip the tree today so these may be my last. I'll be keeping the seeds in moist paper towels and wrapped in plastic, so if you want some be quick.

If anyone's living on the sunshine coast and wants to find the tree - got to the new housing estate at the corner of Beerburum and Tinbeerwah streets, dicky beach. Talk to the security/sales people and you might get some fruit or a couple of cuttings.

Hello,
I'd really like some of your bush lemon seed if possible. I have Aristolochia fimbriata, Bixa orellana, Caesalpinia pulcherrima seeds to trade now. Also have a large crop of Cananga odorata seed almost ripe. Will have some if the cockies don't get to them first.
Regards,
Brendon

Actually, all you need to do for a lemon tree is plant it in loose soil, water the soil lightly, and stick it in a ziplock bag. See this thread: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/trees/msg111341588777.html That lemon tree is mine. I grew from seed. All I did was (STEP BY STEP leaving out absolutely NO information) 1) I grabbed the seed from a lemonade drink made from a lemon bought from a lemonade stand, this past summer 2) put the seeds in a cup of water. All of them sank(sadly, I have no clue where they are now) 3) Placed them in a container somewhere (except for 6) 4) took that plastic cup and cut some holes in the bottom 5) put soil (which turned out to be harder than rock when watered) inside the cup 6) stuck the seed in the cup 7) watered the soil lightly 8) stuck the seed in a plastic ziplock baggy 9) put it on the counter 9) Forgot it was even there About 2 weeks later, I said "OH CRAP! AM I TOO LATE? IS IT DEAD? I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT ABOUT IT!!! OH MY GOSH, PLEASE DON'T BE DEAD! PLEASE DON'T BE DEAD!!!" After panicking and looking for about 20 minutes, I finally found it buried under a lot of crap. I looked into the bag and I'm thinking, "Awwwwww!!!! It's so cute!!!" There was a little lemon tree with it's first two leaves sprouting. After I saw that, I stuck it in the windowsill where it's currently working on it's 5th leaf while finishing up it's 4th. It's the most beautiful thing ever. I would've increased the germination rate though to all six seeds instead of 1 of 6 if I had followed the directions provided online though(nick the seed coat and all that other stuff). But really, just planting the seed and forgetting about it for about 1-2 weeks seemed to work fine. I probably just got lucky though.

Yes please. Our lemon tree has decided to cark it since the rain, co-incidence or not. Haven't any budhas hand, ssae sounds good. I'm sure a bare rooted bush lemon can survive 2 days with Australia Post :) Messages through GW 'should' work; I'll test it on myself. TIA Rose
