Lemon seedlings I started in january

A citrus seed I started a week ago

It's my dream to have a lemon tree. Is that a dwarf seedling? What zone do you live in? Is this your first?

it was not a drawf tree it came off of so I wouldn't think it is, actually there's six lemon seedlings in the first pic, the second pic is of a clemintine seedling. I'm in between zone 8 and 9. No, I tried some two years ago but they died (my sister forgot to water them while I was gone) I start mine by peeling off the outer layer of protective shell then put them in a damp paper towel in a zip lock and put them some where dark, it shouldn't take longer than a week for most of the seeds to sprout.

I did the same thing your sister did and forgot about them. There pretty tough seedlings thoo. I'd like to try again next summer. That and pear and apple trees

My Dwarf Meyer's Lemon is blooming. It has 7 blossoms. I wonder if the seeds would produce true fruit if I tried to grow them??

Would your plant not produce them? Is it a 2nd generation thing?
