When I see those beautiful inground trees it make me want to quit container growing. My grafted trees has two or three years to go before they have any meaning as far as size and decent fruiting. So far an uphill battle.

Hi Laaz,
I don't know what variety. I got the seeds from the fruit that my friend tree plants at home.
I prefer seedling, but the problem is I have to trim every year. Seedling is slow, but like Millet said "good thing always worth the wait."

Yes, I have a couple ruby red grapefruit trees & a Changshu kumquat I grew from seed.

I grew a Sour Orange tree from seed. It took 6 years before it started fruiting. I got the seed from a Dominican Nun living in a convent. The seed came from a tree growing in Italy. This tree was originally planted by Saint Dominic, and has died back many times but has always came back from the roots. If interested about the Saint Dominic Sour tree you can read about it in the book "The Citrus Industry Vol.-11 printed by the University Of California. I was thrilled to get such a seed.
