Re: Seeds for Quất, possibly the most attractive and hardy citrus…
The key is developing a root mass capable of nurturing fruits through to maturity. Also, the above ground structure needs to be robust enough to physically support the fruit. In breeding programs for small citrus, the typical cycle time is 7 years which includes the fruit maturation period (bud set to ripe fruit). Under ideal conditions you can grow Fortunella species from seed and harvest a dozen fruits in just under 5 years.
