More about my lemon tree
G'day everyone. Thanks for all the responces to my lemon tree not
flowering and sorry for taking so long to respond. Anyway, the tree is very healthy, plenty of folage even after a heavy pruning a few months ago. One thing I never mentioned is that there is no sign of grafting on the tree, so I am presuming it has grown from seed. 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? 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. Thanks in advance for your suggestions, Kind regards Warren. |

I had 7 at one stage, have 3 left. One flowered after 2 years but it was the first casualty when the local builder fed it saw dust. Jim |

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.
