Gardeners: A Lemon Seed Question

plllog
3 years ago

My lemon tree isn't a sweet one. It took awhile to source an old fashioned, sour and acidic lemon. :) All lemons are hybrids, however, and I think most modern citrus is cloned and grafted to hearty rootsstock.


Often, if I leave the lemons on the tree for awhile, the seeds start sprouting. Lovely little green shoots.


Can these be grown? I'm not trying for another fruiting lemon tree. I just want to know if I'll get a cute little plant if I put some in a pot.


Also, if it's worth trying, is plain old potting mix (organic) adequate? Most of what i have is for orchids.


Thank-you!


BTW, the lemon was very juicy, and the juice went into the cabbage soup, so it really is a food question. :)
