Growing things from fruit seeds may be an interesting exercise and fun, but don't bank on getting any edible fruit eventually. Be warned that some citrus plants grown from seed may want to get huge, maybe 40 feet high, before they will produce any fruit at all. The explanation for the sentence you find confusing is, if you plant a seed from a clementine fruit,it won't come true, meaning any fruit you might get is very unlikely to be a clementine - it may turn out to be a sour orange, or a smaller fruit that is bitter, there's no way of knowing. Don't you be tempted to plant any of these seeds, though, because if the seedlings were to bear fruits, they would not, of course, be Clementines. O The last sentence in this article ( Which came first, the Clementine or the seed?) is confusing and I don't understand what it implies as far as being able to eat any eventual fruit from the plant :Ĭlementine is seedless only if grown in isolation.
As I can't plant it outdoors, given our cold winters, will it eventually be feasible to keep it inside in a room with a normal ~ 8 ft ceiling height and is there something I can do to restrict its growth without harming it? O I've seen various estimates for how large it might eventually grow. O How do I know when to replant it in a larger pot? O Am I supposed to be feeding the plant? If so, with what and how often? Being a total novice in this area, I'm seeking some guidance about what to expect and what to do. It's now about a foot tall with new leaves sprouting all the time. To my surprise, it is doing very well, especially as we have been putting it out during the daytime in this North East U.S summer.
The pot is 8 inch in diameter and 7 inch tall and has drainage holes.
Several months ago just for fun I planted a seed from a clementine (or maybe it was a mandarin) in a flower pot using some organic potting soil.
