have trying different citrus from seed? I’ve found several that say
Pummelo is commonly grown from seed, but of course, as Phil says, that doesn’t
mean it will come true to type. In fact, sources mention that named
varieties are grafted. It’s my rule of thumb that citrus can be
grown from seed, and will often come true to type, but variances can certainly
occur. Here’s a reference re: Pummelo seed: http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/pummelo.htm A page on citrus from seed: http://h2othouse.com/html/citrus_from_seed.html And a request: I’ve been looking for tangelolo (tangelo x
grapefruit) for years, after tasting the very refreshing and completely
non-bitter Lavender Gem tangelolo. I hear there’s a second
commercial variety coming along in And Phil – which citrus are you growing? I envy you the
number of plants. No room here for so many. Right now I have a
