If anyone has some swingle seed to spare let me know. I'm looking for 200 - 300 seed.

Lazz,
Let me check with the people that have the "Wilmington Satsuma" The swingle rootstock was producing lots of fruit the last time I was there.
How many fruit does it take to have 300 seeds?

Probably 10 - 12, but whatever you can swing would be great.

Swingle doesn't have many seeds per fruit. I harvested a garbage bag of fruit one year. The next year they cut the trees down. I bought a quart of swingle seeds last year for $150 including shipping! I now have a 2 x 4 foot bed of seedlings.

I waiting on Stan as well. The last ones I got from Stan had about 30 seed per fruit & were the size of a small grapefruit.
