In February 2019 I posted a photo of a grapefruit with seeds growing inside the fruit.
Thirty months later it's time for an update.
This is the smaller of my two grapefruit seedlings showing off it's first flower.
The larger one has none.
In fact of all the citrus seeds I've planted over the years this is the first one ever to grow a flower.
Even the lemon tree I planted in the garden never flowered. Eventually I decided to move it back into a pot in the hope of using it for bonsai, but sadly it didn't survive the move.
Though citrus trees aren't ideal bonsai material, I have other citruses which have spent their whole lives in small pots, and I'm persisting with those. I feel compelled to because it was a clementine seedling which first ignited my passion for bonsai.
