I just bought some Oni Yuzu seeds from that same ebay seller in the Dekopon thread.. I don't care if I got duped or anything. Its a fun gamble and only 18 bucks.

Only 7-10 years to see if its a ripoff or not, lol.

Fun Fact: Oni means Demon in Japanese.

I hope the seeds are the real deal. Try posting a pic of them here when they arrive so that the experts can have a look and give their opinion. If I remember correctly yuzu seeds are plump and almost round with a stubby point. It shouldn't take 7-10 years to see if they're really yuzu, the leaves are distinctive. You should be able to tell pretty much straight away after you get 4 to 6 leaves on the seedlings. Good luck!

I'll let you down easy... They are also called Shi shi Yuzu & they are seedless, so whatever you get will not be real. They turn up in the Japanese market here every once in a while & are always seedless.

Alright Laaz. No big deal. Even so, if they germinate at all I can still say that I grew a citrus shipped from singapore, lol.

Nevermind, I was just informed I should probably contact the seller and cancel cause I could get in trouble
