Ha I don’t know if your kidding about the seed question .. But I can tell you if the seed germinates and grows it will takes about 6 years before you see fruit. And that’s if it fruits for you . If you really want to try to reproduce that same fruit. I would air layer the branch it grew on and then plant that to see what happens. Then in two years you could see fruit ! Fruit stunts the growth of a young citrus ..
I have air layered lots of Citrus . My family was in the citrus business in Central Florida as growers.. It will air layer just fine ! and its cheap to do!
Ya need Rootone and some Sphagnum moss, heavy duty foil wrap and some wire. Also there are lots of air layer pots on the market . Heck you can make your own pot
Boy now I go t the fever to go out and just start air layering stuff
