Hello,

I currently have a healthy Calamondin Orange Tree. So, these oranges are starting to look nice, but I don't want to eat them. I get very attached to my little tree, and I was hoping I could use it's fruit to sprout new trees (for now at least). I am currently a junior in college studying biology, so I have some botany background, but not a lot of fruit tree background. I have access to a greenhouse, so hopefully that will come in handy. I just wondered if anyone has had successful trees from fruit seeds. I would love to get info on how to do it, such as how I should prepare the seed, and even what kind of soil or other things to buy for the little seeds. Any information would be very appriciated. I just want to make more trees from this healthy one, so I can hopefully have a good collection of orange trees without always having to buy the saplings. Thanks a lot!!

maybe those 2 sites will help you out.I need to organize my folder better the thing i'm looking for have not found yet.
seems your seed will have 2-3 sprouts.
I sowed some from a tangerine I got from store and one seed had 4 sprouts 2 were a pretty green and 2 were white.the 2 green are still going but the white ones recently shriviled to compost.i think was a photosenthis issue,they didn't grow but stayed same size then just*snap of finger* compost on the spot.i'll try my kumquat next,,,as soon as another fruit ripens.& I'll probably take a cutting of my loquat and root.
you'll have to post how it goes.sounds fun.I sowed my seed 1 inch.
