Heres a tip: Dry the seeds with tissue straight after romoving them from the lemon and peel away the outer shell. This will result in much faster germination (Instead of 3-4 weeks it will take less than a week)
Excellent! Everyone should do this imagine…free lemons 🙂
@loveallhappiness not sure…but with my grapefruit tree, I put the seeds in a plastic bag with a moist paper towel. The seeds took about a month to sprout.
@heavym3tal did some of them mold to?
@gary77777778888888 nope, but when I tried to do the same with pecans, they molded.
@heavym3tal I wonder if it was something to do with the ph levels. I bet thay were to acidic for mold to grow. I dont know but its intersting maby by useing lemon juce on other seeds wile useing the same prosedure might keep the seeds untill thay sprout. Some people actualy cook with lemon juce lemon juice and no flame but it onley works with some meats.

BUT will it produce fruits ???????
And where are her trees that has grown?! or is she just planing to have them in the future……..like first you have to pilow the seeds twice etc etc not puting them just like that in soil
good method, but easiest to ensure sprouting is the plastic bag method;)
