A Newbie Hello from the cold north Smile

Wondering if anyone still have any seeds left or knows of a source for any of the below.

What I'm currently searching for:

Poncirus trifoliata "Flying Dragon"
Citrus aurantium "Seville orange"
Limequat (do they come true from seed?)
Key Lime
Lisbon or Femminello Lemon
Owari Satsuma Mandarin or any other good tasting mandarin

Any kind of tasty Sweet orange (yes i could pick up any random fruit at the store but i don´t want to grow a plant for years without knowing what it is)

Please correct me if any of these seeds dont come true

In Europe all those citrus can easily be found grafted.
Why do you want seeds?

Because there´s something special about growing a plant from seed and watch as it matures.

Also the citrus available in denmark are often labelled just as "orange" or "lemon" even sometimes just "Citrus" and i like to know exactly what i´m growing, and on which rootstock it´s growing. There´s only one place i know of in denmark where you get al info, but they have a limited selection since it is a rather new nursery. Here i bought a campbell valencia orange on a macrophylla rootstock, and that´s the kind of info i want, some call it crazy, others passionated Smile

Not crazy at all! Wink
But if sources in Denmark aren't any good, why not buy plants over the internet? Here are a couple of great sources, both of which I have bought plants from:

Agrumes Bachès, the number one source for citrus plants in France:

Flora Toscana in Germany:

Thanks for the links, look interesting Smile

But i´m still primarily looking for seeds, although i might end up having to buy mature plants and take seeds from their fruits.
