| I took a lot of citrus seeds out of some Seville Oranges as I was making marmalade a couple of weeks ago. I planted a few but still have some more that I have kept in a damp paper towel in a ziploc bag in the refrigerator. How long will these seeds keep? Thanks. |

| Citrus seeds generally need to be planted immediately. Not sure of germination if kept cool and moist. It's an experiment. Post the results you find. |

| Until they mold. If you dry them overnight and dust with fungicide they will keep for several months stored dry in a ziploc bag in the refrig. I do this every year to save from the fall to the spring. I've got a pint of flying dragon and a quart of swingle seeds(for which I paid $130) stored right now. |
