Wow! Such an interesting array of seedlings.

Who really knows the potential of each one! Some may be hardy, others may not, some may be tasty, others not. You won't know for years and years, but it sure has interesting parents.

Most citrus grown from seed will fruit in 3-5 years max if planted in the ground. Even the two Ruby red grapefruit I grew from seed both set fruit in the 5th year.

Yes, I know it, but still...
I managed to have Thomasville in flowers in 4 years from seed, so there is some hope to see Kukcletrumelo fruiting during my life. Twisted Evil
