Does anyone know if a lemon tree grown from seed takes longer to
become productive than a grafted tree one would find at a nursery?
Yes. See, the stock is older than the graft, so it gives the tree maturity.
Not sure how long the variation is. The other thing is that some seed-grown
citrus simply won't bear well. Our cultivars have been selected from highly
productive plants. A seed-grown plant could have wonderful or lousy
characteristics but you won't know until it fruits.
Also, if i want to grow other citrus trees from seed, what do i do?
Any links to web sites about this would be appreciated.
Try Global Garden or the Gardeninng Australia website.
