Subject: [nafex] orange from seed


> ===================================
> Hi Joel,  As I remember it doesn't take long to sprout the seeds but they
should be kept warm, and best to get seed straight from the fruit.  Problem
is the time it takes to get the seedling to bear.  Maybe 6-8 yrs.  It's much
quicker to bud them from a mature plant onto some other citrus for
rootstock.  Trifoliate orange has worked well for me.   Hector Black.   zone
