I am growing Flying Dragon Orange Trees from seed again this year. They are also known as Bitter orange and Hardy Orange, Scientific name is Poncirus Trifoliata. I grew some last year with great success, but the crazy arctic blast last winter got most of them. I am growing these for root stock to graft Dwarf Orange trees, Dwarf Lemon Trees and Dwarf Lime trees in the future. I planted the Flying Dragon seeds in my Rootmaker pots.

There is a flying dragon orange tree at my school campus and I fell in love with it. When it produced fruit, they let me gather some and I grew the seeds! They nearly all came up and I'm overwhelmed. I have soooo many seedlings now! I'm trying to find info on how to care for them to grow, and your videos are great! Thank you so much! KEEP GROWING!
I'm a graduate student at Oklahoma State University. If you're ever in Stillwater in the fall, you can gather the fruit by the dozens for the seeds. I have a bunch still in my fridge right now that I don't know what to do with. The college has been growing them for years.
Oh Wow, I would love to get some more seed. It is a very interesting tree!
I'd love to buy some if you would be willing?!
Can you over soak a seed? I had bought a bag of lemongrass seeds and said to soak 12 hours. Started soaking them that night and was going to get soil next day and start, but a series of unfortunate events caused them to soak 48 hours and none of them germinated. Tempted to buy plants because it was like handling grass cuttings that had gone through a good processor. Although, may try again with your tweezer trick.
Let me know how this goes. id be interested in buying some of these seeds.
Hi. We have a trifoliate orange that I would love to propagate. Can I plant seeds now? Into the ground? Or should I collect seeds for spring? I've been told that since it's citrus and the fruit falling to the ground naturally germinates, to sow seeds directly into the ground. I have seeds I've saved and there is ripe fruit to get seeds from. What should I be doing? Thank you for your video. The flying dragon is rather unique and impenetrable and I'm looking forward to growing a natural fence. Thanks again!
I was wondering the same thing. I work landscaping and was able to collect some fallen fruit. I was wondering if I can just remove the seeds and soak them immediately. I think I’ll try planting them indoors and see if I can give them a head start before spring…
Trifoliate seeds will germinate at anytime during the year if you do it indoors on bottom heat. I usually wait until spring and do it outdoors because my heat mat is in high demand during winter. I recommend starting in starter treys like the video shows because you will have some culling to do. Not all seedlings will be trifoliate because of crossbreeding from pollination and the poly embryonic nature of citrus seed. Even if you sow true Flying dragon seeds (I don’t think that’s what this video shows) some seedlings will be trifoliate but not “Flying Dragon”. Flying dragon is the highly contorted variety of Poncirus and the only true dwarfing rootstock. The straight versions can grow up to 30’ tall so you could end up with a hedge that tall. I have a couple true flying dragons in pots that I started from cuttings and am waiting for them to mature so I can collect seeds ( I plan on covering with a insect cloth during bloom ) when the time comes.
@@itsasickness4939 thank you very much. The trifoliate orange we have is a very contorted plant, about 10' - 12' tall. Out of curiosity, I did plant some seeds outdoors just to see what would happen. I don't have a heart mat so I'll wait until spring as you suggest and see some in trays. I think their wonderfully interesting plants and beautiful too. I took a picture of the green thorny branches turning yellow in areas and it's so striking. I prune dead branches... carefully...lol. i never fail to draw blood when working in it. Lol. I wish I were as knowledgeable as you are about these plants. First I want to determine exactly what it is. I believe it's flying dragon but I can't be confident in that. I've adopted it as a pet, lol. It's so big and interesting and beautiful to me. That's why I want more. I want a natural fence and a chance to nurture and watch the growth process. Thank you so much for your time. You were generous in your answer. I'll be studying this plant from now on. I hope to have seedlings come spring!
@@calebholt8916 when I collected my seeds I had no idea what I was doing so I washed the slime off, dried them and sealed them in a bag. It's what I do with so many other seeds I just gave it a try because I didn't have any information yet on what to do. Other gardening questions and issues were taking up all my time. Do you think my seeds will be viable? I think I'll try a germination test and see what happens. Who knows....
@@itsasickness4939 oh yes, I saved some seeds several months ago. I washed the slick coating off, dried them and stored them. Did not have a clue about citrus and it's seeds etc. What method do you use to save these seeds?
Are any of the seedlings contorted with curved thorns?
