I collect unusual fruiting plants, and these are one of the most intriguing so far. They�re still young, but the structure and thorns are already noticeable. Can�t wait to see the unique fruit later on.
The seeds arrived clean, fresh, and ready to plant. They sprouted in less than a month with minimal effort. A great option for anyone curious about hardy citrus relatives.
I live in Pennsylvania, and these seedlings are holding up well despite cooler evenings. It�s fascinating to grow something so closely related to citrus that actually tolerates cold.
These seeds are perfect if you enjoy growing unusual plants. They germinated reliably, and the tiny trees are already showing their distinctive trifoliate leaves. They�ll make a great hedge once established.
Out of the 15 seeds I planted, 12 germinated successfully. That�s much better than I expected. The seedlings are growing strong, and I�m keeping a few indoors while the rest tough it out outside.
