These two photos are of some unknown seedlings. I planted them a year or so ago and gave up on them. I think they were either calamondin or limequat, but the label was lost long ago. After several months in the greenhouse, lo and behold these came up. The only trifoliate I have is Flying dragon, but these were planted long before I had fruits on my FD.

I have had both calamondin and limequat seedlings before, but I do not remember their having trifoliate leaves.

They must be some variety of Poncirus or Poncirus hybrid, but they are certainly not Calamondin nor Limequat. - Millet (1,043-)

Absolutely agree with Millet.
But if forced to choose, I would guess these are Flying Dragon. I think there is just a hint of 'twistiness' in your seedlings.

Yes, my wife said I planted some Flying Dragon from fruits I picked and then a couple of months later from those that fell on the ground. It has to be Flying Dragon. I seem to be having more and more senior moments.
