Default Poncirus trifoliata

Some kind soul sent me some poncirus trifoliata seeds from the states
last year (or probably the year before - its been a bit like that round
here), but not one of them germinated. As this sounded the ideal answer
to our hedging problem, I wondered if anyone knows where you can get the
seeds in the country?

Chiltern sell them.

I found that they germinate very easily, but despite their tough
appearance, their young shoots are very susceptible to slug damage - the
slugs strip the bark and kill the young plants.

Probably, when mature, there is no longer so much of a problem - slugs
go only for the young stems and do not seem to attack the leaves of my
orange tree.
