Polyembrionic Citrus Seed
Is anyone here significantly familiar with polyembrionic citrus seed?
I have potted a volunteer citrus seed germination, which has two seedlings growing from the one seed, a condition known as "polyembrionic". Each seedling has its own root. I vaguely remember reading something about a decade ago, that one of these seedlings has the genetics of the original fruit and will eventually produce fruit true to the original fruit, while the other one will likely produce undesirable fruit. MY QUESTION IS: Does anyone here know which seedling I can cut off, thereby leaving the one which will eventually bear desirable fruit? (Since it will be many years before fruit can be expected, I do not wish to maintain the one that will produce undesirable fruit.) |

Polyembrionic Citrus Seed
You could grow them both. The one that wont grow the "disirable fruit"
you could graph it w/ the mothers stem. And youll have 2 trees that grow disirable fruit, Viola!! |
