hi linda,

i only tried this once 10 years ago, when i saved my lemon seeds in the same way, letting them dry out for a few weeks or even months. when i planted them, they grew very well, but over the years i lost track of all of the plants save the one i kept for myself. it grows leafy until i disrupt it with moving house when it loses its leaves for a bit. always rejeuvenates, but has yet to bear fruit.

good luck with the calamonsite- my family makes with them a juice something like lemonaide, very tasty in the summer.

Thanks Leesia,
I have two that I grew from seeds about 4 years ago. I didn't try to store the seeds first, just planted them. Mine have yet to make fruit either, but they sure do make a pretty houseplant. I'm glad I'll be able to save the seeds, or maybe offer them on the Seed Exchange.

I store mine in the same way you would any of the othere citrus seeds. The tree I have is 29 years old and I was just 14 when I took some seed from a Tree planted outside the Easter seal building while my mother took my sister in for her therapy. I guess I was helping myself to seeds that young. Although it is not at all sweet, we use the fruit to make mock lemon-aide. Flora

I got some fressh seeds of this today and wonder how I plant them?

Thanks,

I just took the seeds out of the orange, dried for a few days and planted about 1/2" deep. I put them above my Bunn coffee maker, where it's warm. I covered the top of the pot with clear plastic so that the soil didn't dry out. In the summer, I set the pot in a sunny location, which kept the soil warm. Good luck!!
