I don''t clearly understant your question. If your asking what is the fastest citrus to produce fruit from a planted seed, then the answer is either a Key Lime or a Procimquat. Both can fruit in one year or most surely during the second year. Key Lime is of course an eatble citrus variety, and the Procimquat is a very hansome ornamental citrus variety. Both are great either in containers or ground.

(4, Finland) dictates your tree is going into a container. I am banking on small fruited trees. My Kumquats may produce between 3 to 5 years. I have a 4 year old tangerine that has not flowered yet.

Sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language ;)

My question is: do you people have some kind of citrus that you've grown from seed, which have bloomed? No matter what variety, if it is a citrus grown from seed, and you've got it to bloom and perhaps to fruit.

Steve: All my plants are in containers and I must admit their doing pretty well. Better than I would've expected and that's why I've started to dream of them blooming.. Specially my mandarin is going berserk, its growing constantly flush after flush. Others are way behind in growth.

Due to that, I'd like to hear IF you folks have got some seed-started citrus to maturity.

None of my seed grown trees have ever flowered. The smaller the fruit the better chance your tree can reach maturity before it out grows your house.

Actually, it will fit. Other plants need to go then :D

Just kidding, that's big! Wow, I knew citrus needed to be big to bloom, but THAT big!! Perhaps I'll stick to taking cuttings and cuttings from cuttings to get a mature tree but smaller in size. That's the way to go, it works, huh?

Thank you Steve for the pics :)

Jontte, first no need to apologize any for your English. It's very good, better than lots of Americans, and I wouldn't have known it wasn't your first language.

Good luck with your seed-grown trees. I have planted a few trees from seeds. I have a calamondin planted in the ground and it's around 7 years old and has yet to fruit. All of my Ponderosa lemons are also in-ground and from seed. They fruit in 4-5 years.

I would try calamondin if you can find it.

I do have a grafted calamondin, it's getting ready for its second blooming for this year. Thanks for advice though :)
