So the little seeds of the Flying Dragon dwarf root stock germinate. How long to I wait to graft desirable citrus on to them?

I have 50 seeds, need 21 to sprout.

After that, they will go in-ground, full sun, in gopher proof baskets.

Have many other citrus from grapefruit to tangerine and everything in-between! Wow! That rhymes!

Do I let them grow one year or how many?

Thanks!

Suzi

Thanks so much! They are in germination process, so crossing my fingers! IF they germinate, and I'm sure some will, I'll be an avid reader of T-budding and grafting! Much to learn!
