Barnetmill, All of yours are seedlings right?

If you do get a crop I'd like to taste them.

I'll check my potted trees and see if I have any buds forming. One that I have in the sun looked like it might be trying to set buds last week.

AS ALWAYS IMHO AND YOUR MILEAGE MAY DIFFER!!!!!!!!

Life - Some assembly required, As is no warranty, Batteries not included, Instructions shipped separately and are frequently wrong!

Kentucky Bourbon - It may not solve the problem but it helps to make it tolerable!

Statistics - Data that analyst twist to support the insane opinions of those that pay them.
