Default Lemon tree very pretty, and......

Very pleasantly, Grapefruit seeds that I have sown immediately produced a
single fragrant bloom. Very slow further growth and no more blossom.

Why bother if it is growing?

Cutings are around £3-£4 UKP and now you have a growing plant they would
probably save you half a season's growth?

If you want an 'instant tree' you will probably have to pay more for a

tree
several years old.

AFAIR from the TV program the trees take about 10 years to start producing
any quantity of fruit.

So in the great scheme of things you probably won't notice the difference.
