Default Planting kumquat seeds

"............. When I planted key lime seeds, every seed sprouted; some of
them had 2 shoots from one seed. ........."

When you are growing citrus from seed the seedlings will not come true to
the fruit you had the seed from. BUT where you get 2 plants from the one
seed then One of those 2 WILL be like the parent fruit.


Which one? The strong seedling, or the sickly one that comes up second?
........"
Now to know that would make it to easy, but at least by saving only the
double plants you reduce the odds to 50%
