    Before you say and a merry Christmas to u to.... That's what I am going to try this year...with lemons, and loads of other citrus fruits from the left over's of the Christmas fruit bowl .... Nothing goes to waste here, Even going to try pineapple from the top and from the seeds inside... First time with tropical plants should be interesting...

      Jone - that's the spirit. Its well worth trying things - nothing lost. Citrus shouldn't be too difficult, I remember doing that when I was a kid. The coconut will be more interesting. :snork:

        Keep it in a pot and bring into conservatory or greenhouse, as I can't see it getting it that big
