how to propagate citrus trees from seed and cuttings?

Answer 1

My suggestion is , depend on seed raised plants only to provide the root stock ,graft on to it the scion from a mother plant with good bearing qualities.Grafted plants are more compact,yield earlier than seed grown plants & also bear a better crop.
A seed bears traits of both male & female contributing elements,so you will not get a true to type plant / fruit ,fruiting takes a longer time too .

Answer 2

Seeds are tricky because you may not get the same type or quality fruit as what the seed came from. Citrus cuttings do not always root well. You wouls be better off to use seedlings for root stock and graft on cuttings from a known good tree.

Answer 3

If you are just growing citrus for fun , you can grow them from seed. Soak them in warm water for a day or two ( I usually give them a few days, since I forget ) . Then put them in a little pot of good soil, with bottom heat. I have had best luck with grapefruit and lime. They are pretty little things , the foliage is a waxy , dark green.
