Thanks for the help!

A while back, I asked for advice on citrus care after several failed attempts. I got some pointers on soil mixtures, watering habits, etc.

I've now eaten several home grown oranges. They are tiny and each "crop" is kind of a low yield, but it has been bearing fruit ever since spring. Perhaps this year's batch will be better since it will be more mature. The fruits do seem to be increasing in size over time.

One of the oranges had some seeds that started to sprout while still on the branch! I've never seen that before, didn't think it could happen. I stuck the seedlings in a pot and they seem to be growing happily.

Dwarf citrus trees are grafted onto some other root stock, as far as I know, to make them suitable for growing in a pot. What do you suppose will happen with my all-natural seedlings? They have to stay potted, winters get too cold around here.
