Hi,

Since I see many different and interesting citrus varieties, I spend too much time to read on them, look at their pictures on websites and want to have as much as I can.
It is really hard to find ornemantal or rare citrus varieties here, just commercial varities are sold.It is hard to buy seedlings via international shipping, it is difficult to buy budwoods, too much paper work etc. So I want to ask if you can send me some seeds, I have the patience to see their fruits and seed shipping is legal for most of the states I guess.

In return, I can send you Palestine sweet lemon seeds, which can be difficult to find there.

I don't have interesting or rare citrus and I don't have much interesting in return so I have and idea Very Happy You know I am an illustrator.I will design and illustrate a funny thank you postcard/note for that occasion, get prints and send to you.If you don't have seeds to share, you can still ask for the postcard as a souvenir of the forum Smile

There are many varieties that I really want to grow, I will list them below.I didn't have a chance to check them all if they are patented or have legal limitations, if so please skip them.
Also, please skip the varieties which doesn't come true from seed Smile

I especially look for ornamental varities but my whole list, which is too loooong, is below;

Changshou kumquat tree
Indio Mandarinquats
Sunquat
Fukushu kumquat
Hongkong kumquat
Eustis Limequat
Indio Mandarinquat
Sunquat Lemonquat
Tavares Limequat
Bearss/Tahitian/Persian lime
Mary Ellen sweet lime
Mexican lime
Rangpur lime
Citrus hystrix
Ethrog/Etrog
Fingered Citron/Buddha's Hand
Limon canaliculata
Limone Bizzarria
Citrus aurantium 'Fasciata'

If you will have a chance to send seeds, please send me a pm and I will send my address.

Thank you very much for your interest Smile

Best,

I think etrog don't come true by seed, and that you won't find any seed in Buddha's Hand.
Tahiti lime fruit is also seedless, is it not ?

I can send you some Mexican Lime seeds. I just bought some at the grocery store. They were called Key limes and are from Mexico. I will send you a private message.

It may be a bit but I can send you some Rampur lime seeds that is from a very old and quite successful bearing tree (20 years plus). (Other limes on your list are a possiblity too.)

I just moved and leaned the tree down to minimize the stress in moving it so it will be several months before I have seed again.

Send me an email and we can coordinate from there at:

bruce@hoodini.net

Cheers!

Bruce
