This is very interesting trifoliate seedling. It is fully Poncirus trifoliata.



The roots are strange.


I trying to save.

These type of seedlings are sometimes seen in Citrus nurseries where 1000's of Trifoliata seed are sown.
In my experience it wont recover and grow normal roots, if you want to progress it, graft or bud part of it onto a normal seedling.
