So envious. I'm struggling to just get plants to grow, here in Nevada. Lousy soil, lousy weather, blistering summers and bitter winters... no way I can have citrus outside. I have 29 little sprouts from Cutie Mandarins that I found this year - those things are prolific. If they do have seeds, they usually have a lot, and out of 29 seeds I've got 28 healthy sprouts and 1 albino. Beautiful to see.. but it won't survive. I raise them as house plants, and give them away, but with the weather here I don't expect they'll ever bear fruit - and if they did, it would be mystery fruit. Three apple trees, two apricots, a combo plum, honeyberries, strawberries, raspberries, a peach tree... all of those are planted outside, but nothing's bearing fruit. I only bought this place five years ago as bare dirt - so... someday....
I love the smell of citrus in bloom, let alone the smell of the fruit.
