Will yuzuquat and/or 10 degree come true from seed? I planted seeds from both varieties and have some unique looking seedlings. Some of the seedlings look typical (albeit w/ a large petiole), but there are also seedlings that are bifoliate and trifoliate. Is this normal?

I have not seen this in seedlings of those two that I have grown. Given their parentage, I would think it unlikely that the seedlings would have multiple leaflets, unless they were pollinated with poncirus.

Thanks Ned. I was guessing that these might have been exposed to poncirus - but don't really know why as it essentially makes the seedlings worthless.

Those seedlings may make a good rootstock, it would be worth a try anyway.

Just curious, but were they seeds from fruit that you had or seeds that were purchased?

The seeds are from fruit grown here in SE Texas. I have found that it is relatively rare (today) for folks around here to use poncirus hybrids for rootstock as the common thought is that pure poncirus imparts better charactoristics (plus the common soil type here is sand).

Additionally, I have never seen a flowering poncirus in this area so am not sure where the pollen came from (unless done on purpose by a grower).

Thanks for the comment - I might attempt to grow the seedling out (but my spouse typically limits what she waters to those plants most likely to provide some return on investment).

Given that you live in the Houston area and can effortlessly grown good citrus like satsuma, why do you want to grow yuzuquat and 10degree tangerine? Yuzuquat has little flavor other than sour and 10degree tangerine is sour as well. You should be able to get budwood for both if you insist. I can refer you to sources.

Hi everybody,

where can I find seeds from varieties of Yuzu,
like Yuzuquat, Clemyuz 2-2, uzvange, etc.
I'm willing to pay for the seeds and postage.

Greetings
