Fruit

5 for a �£1.00....I ate one.

 

They look delicious; hope you kept any seeds rosietu! I've several pips soaking at the moment. All of them are swolen and a couple look as if they are ready to start rooting. As soon as they do they'll be into pots. :D

 

Aha.. the beauty of those whoppers was they had NO pips, Might they have been Hybrids?
wonder how they propogate them, they were Spanish I asked as I went back for some more to put in the freezer I only ever got a lot of nice smelly leaves when I tried to grow lemons.

 

Citrus are trees rosietu and can take up to 15 years before they flower although I've had pink grapefruits flower within a year of planting seeds. The scent from the flowers is very aromatic and pervasive so worth a try.

Seedless varieties are all propagated vegatatively from natural sports off of normal trees so I'm afraid there's very little chance of growing a seedless one without buying a known bush from a nursary.

 

I think you could have waited until you took the photo Rosietu, then again they do look good. Must have ago at the pips though, I expect you soak them until something starts to emerge.
