Citrus makes a nice sturdy seedling. Keep it inside by
a window. It would take a long while before you see
any fruit though.
Papaya makes a nice looking plant and it grows pretty
fast. Again keep it by window.
Avocado is an old standby. I'm sure someone will do
that in the class
Tamarind is germinates surprisingly well, and the seed
is viable for a long time. I looks like Mimosa or
"sensitive tree". (same family)
Lychee is make a pretty plant. Kind of looks like
Ficus tree but with rust red young leaves.
Mango makes a pretty plant too.
