Unless you only want it as ornamental, I would not recomend it. they do not come true to type and are usually inferior. I have had 3 come up volunteer around my place and all 3 were terrible fruit that was never eatable. Best way to grow a good one is from cuttings or just buy a bare root. Cuttings should be cut while dormant, and planted when it's warm enough for things to get growing in your area. Good luck softmentor

bonjo, I'd wait until late Feb/early Mar, take several cuttings - pencil-diameter & 6-8 inches long. Wrap in damp(not wet!) paper toweling, place in a ziploc bag, and keep in the refrigerator 'til spring. Dip basal ends(It helps to cut one end straight across and the other at a slant - and remember which is which! - to remind you which end is 'up') in your choice of rooting hormone, stick in a well-drained soilless potting mix, and keep watered. In my experience, success rates run close to 100%. You can also take semi-hardwood cuttings in late June/July and they'll root relatively easily, as well. As to what variety it is(if it is, indeed, a named selection), I don't know, unless it's "Pink Ice"/"Sin Pepe" - but you might find its description in the book, The Incredible Pomegranate.

Yes you can. That's exactly what I am doing now. I have bitter melon seeds which are a year old. They didn't germinate after trials such as filing the hard shell of the seed, pinching the tip, soaking in luke warm water overnight... So brought a ripe bitter melon (the lady at the grocery store gave it away), cleaned the seeds under running water and am drying them as of today. Probably I might sow them tomorrow in a peat pellet. A few of them I wrapped them in a wet paper towel to sprout. I'll see if it is successful. It's the third day today. Here is a link that might be useful: uj's vegetable garden

You could try growing a Thai lime/Kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix). The leaves are used in Thai cooking. My tree is outdoors, and so I don't know if it is fragrant as a houseplant, but the leaves smell marvelous when you crush them. Mmmmmm, craving some tom kha gai now...Anyway, you wouldn't really need the fruit with this plant, and the leaves are useful. In fact, if you want, I have some Kaffir limes from the tree that I am not going to use. Are you interested in the seeds? Got anything to trade? I would love some cranberry cuttings, or some pink or white currant cuttings. I've got other citrus fruit/seeds that are not real common if you'd prefer--limequat, yuzu, Seville, Palestine sweet lime, Bergamot. Or bouquet de fleurs in a few months. Another one that may be good is chinotto sour orange, bacause the leaves are unusual ( it's also called myrtle-leaf sour orange ) and it is very slow growing. I will have ripe seeds in a few months. It seems that lots of people grow calamonins indoors too. Also, though I don't know much about growing citrus in the house, but just make sure that if you do, that you have a very very well-drained medium and that it gets lots of light. I germinated a couple of citrus seeds just for the he** of it by sticking them in cup of damp peat and keeping it by a window--but remember I live in California. Keep it somewhere warm--I am thinking of getting a seed warming mat for other stuff. I didn't soak them first. HTH.
