Question about poly and monoebyonic seeds

9 years ago

I sprouted some keylime and Meyer lemon seeds. So after a bit of reading it seems my Meyer seedlings are not going to be Meyers but rather some unknown hybrid and probably a waste of time. The keylimes on the other hand are supposed to be true to seed but the confusing thing is that I'm not sure which seedlings will be keylime or if all of them will be. Of the three keylime seeds I sprouted, 2 were monoembryonic and 1 was poly sending up two plants. Does this mean of the 4 seedlings only 1 is a clone? Does it require a polyebryonic seed to get a clone?

Any members here that grew keylimes or Meyers from seed tell me how long it took to fruit? These will be potted plants as I'm in zone 6 in Canada. Also sprouted some star fruit seeds but that's not citrus.
