Not having a great deal of success trading for citrus plants figured I'd test the waters for seeds instead. I don't want to give up the farm for seeds, I would be willing to trade some of my Veggie seeds for some citrus seeds or if you have several seeds to offer will buy for reasonable fee.
Bill

Bill, I have many Meyer Lemon seeds if you want them. I don't need any more seeds thanks. Let me know. No charge. No postage.
Jeanette
I have traded for Myers lemon seeds twice and had no luck sprouting. I believe I read that they have to be kept moist from the time they are harvested. Is this correct? I have wanted some of these seeds to gro and cannot afford to go to the nursery to buy a tree.
Do you knoe the way to propagate these?
I don't know. I have them but have never tried to grow them. I have some from last year's crop and also I have lemons from this year's crop. I am going to send both the last year's seeds and a couple of lemons to Bill. Maybe he will let us know.
Jeanette
Mamawk, would you like me to send the same to you? Jeanette

It's BEST to grow from fresh seeds regardless of plant type, But they will still grow from stored seeds it may add a longer time for them to germinate though. And then there are some fruit that do not grow true from seed, Tangelo & a few others will grow from seed but will not produce fruit. I'm easy; if they grow good if not I'll blame it on my lack of ability, conditions lighting, soil no greenhouse etc.. I have had some palm seeds take 6 months to germinate & some that still have yet to germinate after a 8 months, I don't give up easy.
Thanks,
Bill
Boy Bill you do have patience. Not me. i would throw them out.
I will send lemons and you can retrieve the seeds. These are from my sister in California. She has a real nice tree that produces a big crop every year. So I know they have not had any processing done to them.
Jeanette
Awesome, you need my addy or did you already look it up?
Bill
Got it. Jeanette
Bill, I am sorry I have been away for a little while. If you are interested in the tangerine seeds, please send me your address. Thanks, Linda
Yes I would love to try them. My computer has been down a few days so I'm late seeing this. My address is in exchange and please let me know what I would owe you. I am so excited! Maybe this time they will grow!!!
Ok, Mama, I will send you some seeds but not the lemons. I didn't know how much they were going to cost to ship and I had someone else send Bill's and was floored when he told me the cost. Very expensive lemons. I will take the seeds out of the lemons so you have fresh ones to plant. And, I wonder if they will spoil if I send them before drying them???? I see you are in KY. What do you think, if I just put them in a paper towel and send them right after I take them out of the lemon?
Will take care of this this week. Jeanette
Jeanette I haven't seen the lemons but let me know how much I owe you, I do not expect you to foot the cost of my projects.
Bill
Bill, lol, sorry, I didn't mean to, and hope you didn't take it that way, that I was put out with you for the cost of the lemons. I think the shipping is soooo out of line. Had I been at the post office I would not have sent them tho and explained to you why I was sending fresh seeds instead of fresh lemons.
Don't worry about it, have a glass of lemonade on me. And, I sincerely hope the seeds sprout for you.
Jeanette
NO I really do not want yoou being out the cost of shipping them. If you like use the money to send seeds to someone or to fund your next trade.
Whatever. Jeanette
all we can do it try. Just send them and we will see.
bdollarbill, I don't want to intrude but I too am looking to trade some veggie and/or herb seeds for citrus seeds. I just received my order from heirloom seeds so I don't have large quantities of each seed to trade but would love to have any citrus seeds that will grow! I would love to have lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, anything really that will grow from seed. I know the stuff in the store doesn't. I have tried, then I learned about GMO.
So if there are any citrus seeds left can I get some for trade? Please?
I'll see how many seeds the Meyer lemons have. How many I get from a couple.
Jeanette
That would be wonderful! Do you mind bdollarbill?
Christine

Thanks for your consideration
Trade away , when I get the box with the lemons I will share if anyone wants to try some. Just drop me an Dmail.
Well Bill, if you didn't get the lemons today you should get them tomorrow. Hope they are full of seeds. LOL
Jeanette

Jeanette
In fact, you might want to trade with allwild818. I don't see anything I need. No offense, I just do not need any more seeds. Jeanette
Nuttin today will be on lookout I know they are mostly viable when they have not dried out completely, who ever else wants seeds I'll send them in soaked wet paper towel to keep them moist in small ziplock bag, you'll have better results that way. May even speed up the germination process & have seeds sprouting when you get them.
Bill
That is what I was thinking Bill. I can't believe for that price that they didn't hand-carry them to you!! I got hostas sent on Tuesday on Thursday from Oklahoma to Wash. State.
Oh well, you never know. If they aren't fit when you get them I will send seeds the way you suggest above. Now, are you going to send seeds to Mamawk and allwild818? I haven't sent any yet, but if you are going to, I won't.
Jeanette
It's no problem, no sense in you paying to ship everybody's for free I'll take care of them.
Bill
Whoever sends me the seeds or lemon I will reimburuse you for the postage. I am very grateful for even getting them.
Ditto what MamawK said. However you want to do it let me know.
Ok soon as I get them I will forward them to you both just be sure to Dmail me your addy unless your listed in files here already. They didn't show today maybe Monday.
Bill
I cannot believe that!! That is just awful. And they are cutting back more! Jeanette

Bob is looking for the receipt, but I don't know what good that will do when he didn't put a tracking number on it. Why would you track 2 lemons anyway? If you don't get them Monday I will send seeds to all 3 of you on Tuesday.
Jeanette
Ok, Bill, I have the seeds for all 3 of you to go out tomorrow. Thanks for your patience, sorry for all the screw up. OH, I received your seeds today. Thank you.
Jeanette
Bill, I sent the seeds today, hopefully they won't take as long as the lemons. Please leave the lemons in the post office. I would imagine that by the time they get there they are going to be pretty stinky.
I was sent plants I ordered thru a co-op on the 23 and they still are not here. I checked the tracking and discovered they had sent them thru Anchorage, AK. I am sure that by the time I get them they are going to be pretty dried out and probably dead.
I really don't know what the answer is unless it is to use Fed-ex or UPS for everything. That is silly.
You will probably get the seeds in a couple of days.
Jeanette
Thanks I hate that you spent without them getting here, are you sending some for me to resend out to the others as well?
Bill
Yes, I sent about 30 seeds I think. Hope they get there.
I still haven't gotten the plants that I bought thru the co-op and were sent on the 23rd. Thru Anchorage yet!!!
