| Hello all, This may sound like a crazy question, but I figure I would try it and see what comes of it. I have even posted this in other Citrus forums, so you guys are not the only ones that have to deal with my craziness! I have been doing a very,very BAD thing! I bought and have been reading Citrus Varieties of the World by James Saunt. There are ALL sorts of varieties in there that I have never heard of and now I want to see if I can get some seeds from them. Before I get the "story" of growing citrus from seeds, I promise I know what to expect. Those of you here that know me, know I already have a decent collection. I have almost 70 varieties in the collection right now, some of which are from seeds. Getting budwood from other countries I know is basically a HUGE NO NO, but the majority of them will allow the shipping of seeds. Anyway, does anybody know of someone in some of the following countries or know how to get a hold of a "Citrus" grower there? Egypt Israel Australia South Africa Spain Morocco Algeria Japan Just to name a few. I know this is probably a wild, you have got to be NUTS type thing that I am attempting, but what do I honestly have to lose? Get some seeds that don't produce an edible product? Lose a few minutes of my life talking to or posting about this to someone? Who knows, I may get an accidental seedling that inspires an entire new crop of the worlds greatest new citrus! Thanks for any help! Darren |

| Hello all, Thank you all for the support and assistance in my quest. I may sound like a lunatic to some of you, but my goal for 2008 is to be growing 100 varieties by years end. I recently received 12 more Citrus varieties and one Citrus relative. This should put me up around 80 or so, I will give you an update once these have all sprouted and are growing strong. A special "Thanks" goes out to my buddy Citrus Joe! I will send you an e-mail later Joe. Darren |
