| Citrus in general will cross. And the hybrids generally are fertile. One problem with citrus breeding is that the seeds of some cultivars will always be seedless, and those are often also pollenless. A second problem with citrus breeding is that in many cultivars, seeds make more than one seedling each. Generally the hybrid seedling, if there is one, will be the weakest one starting out. The rest will be formed from maternal tissue, and clones of the mother tree. |
