Grapefruit from seeds
I was visiting a friend and he had a loaded grapefruit tree, they tasted great so I took some home. I started thinking about starting the seeds and wondering how long the tree would take to start producing. after some research I started the seeds. I used the method of stripping the seedcoat off and putting them in a damp paper towel in a ziplock on a seed mat. 9 days later 5 of 7 seeds sprouted. I planted them today in a community pot and back on the seed mat till they grow. From research these should produce in 3-5 years, it also might not be a clone of the mother tree but as long as it's edible I figure it's nothing but time wasted or I can graph another type to it. I just wanted to share and say it does work.
