Have just been given some tiny grape sized oranges called Kinkan they are
from Japan.

They have normal pips in them. Is there anything i can do to encourage
these pips to germinate and then i would try to grow the orange trees
indoors on a south facing window.

Any tips appreciated.


Probably Kumquats. Don't expect them to taste like oranges. They are
very soar unless eaten whole. Their skins and rind are the sweet bits
just to confuse orange eaters! I've never been able to grow kumquats
so I depend on my greengrocer.
