An interesting observation during these cold winter months; something to tease the brain:  I've sprouted and planted seeds 4 times from my calamondine oranges (they are from my basement orchard for the winters here in zones 4/5 SE Wis).  I get good sprouting; but notice again in this batch an albino (or nearly so) seedling.  I am surprised at this high a mutation rate; I've had at least one in each batch, with anywhere from 2-10 healthy seedlings.  comments?
