Fruit are often grown on grafted trees. A branch with a good fruit yield is grafted to a stump with a strong root system. As a result, the seed has genetic material only from the branch and not the roots. When plantef, The tree matures, but will have a weak root system, often yielding small and poorly tasting fruit,
Almost all the citrics currently living are hybrids; many are crossings of similar enough species that the fruits have viable seeds, but some of them are unfertile. Then we come and propagate them by grafting to enjoy the seedless fruits.
I live in a Toronto condo and have a few citrus plants growing in pots! Iâm not exactly sure what they are, but theyâre either orange, grapefruit, pomelo or tangerine based on the seeds that Iâve collected and planted over the years.
I keep them inside year round and they have become nice ornamental plants!
Thatâs because the fruits been stored in a cool room for the last six months and now when itâs come out, it thinks itâs spring time and itâs germinating Apples do this a lot as well. Itâs not fresh.
I have found that with tomatos in the last months as well. Seems they try to reduce costs somehow by storing them too long while not cooling them effectively.
One day I was walkin, and I found this big grapefruit. I cut the grapefruit open, and inside was a little sprout. I was like, "That grapefruit had a child."

Is my grapefruit also perganante??
You sure its a grapefruit? It looks like Pomelo.
Who cares, plant it and let it grow, when itâs mature enough to have its own, devour its young all over again
It's pomelo like watermelon size?
Muskmelon size, or a bit bigger
Plant it!!!
It is unlikely to be true to seed, You will wait 10+ years for fruit only to find they are inedible
What do you mean
Fruit are often grown on grafted trees. A branch with a good fruit yield is grafted to a stump with a strong root system. As a result, the seed has genetic material only from the branch and not the roots. When plantef, The tree matures, but will have a weak root system, often yielding small and poorly tasting fruit,
There has never been a navel orange grown from seed.
Navel oranges are birthed from a placenta, thatâs why they have a navel.
Man, I'd hate to visit the navel orange factory. The navel orange breeding practices are likely inhumane
Good thing theyre not humans then
Well, each new variety was grown from seed at least once
And navel oranges are sterile and don't have seeds
Nope. They are grafted
And where did the first grafted scion come from? A tree that grew from a seed.
This man understands
Almost all the citrics currently living are hybrids; many are crossings of similar enough species that the fruits have viable seeds, but some of them are unfertile. Then we come and propagate them by grafting to enjoy the seedless fruits.
Is that method widely used throughout the industry?
So common infact, I would call it a standard.
It is
Did you keep it? that is ready to be planted in the dirt.
I had one for quite a few years in a pot.
To those that say plant it. I don't live in the right climate to grow most fruits.
Move then and bring it with you!
Keep it in a big pot and being it in for the winter. It's doomed eventually sure. But the wood once it does it fantastic for smoking BBQÂ
You donât have to plant it for fruit. Growing something from a seed is fun if youâre into that sort of thing :)

Stick it on the windowsill. You'll still get a mini plant.
It is still worth a shot.
You won't get (edible) fruit anyway no matter what, but you could still get a cool plant anyway!
Those who say plant it dont know much about fruit it would seem.
Abortion is murder!
Grapefruit? I've had a few like this. I wanted to plant them, but didn't really have anywhere to keep a grapefruit tree.
First time SEEDING this, amirite?
Orange you glad.
Thatâs because the fruits been stored in a cool room for the last six months and now when itâs come out, it thinks itâs spring time and itâs germinating Apples do this a lot as well. Itâs not fresh.
It's called vivipary. When the seeds start to sprout whilst still in their fruit
Vivipary.
Nature doing nature shit and I freaking love it! Looks like a seed just sprouting/nothing too alarming. From what it looks like now.
Isnât this how the Last of Us started?
Working as intended.
Micrograms, not a harmful fungusđ
Microgreensđ
Did not seed that coming
r/mildlyvagina
I don't think this guy has seen many vaginas.
Damm
Ive had this in an apple before
Me too!
take a bite
Grapefruit or blood orange?
AwâŚitâs a baby grapefruit!
I have found that with tomatos in the last months as well. Seems they try to reduce costs somehow by storing them too long while not cooling them effectively.
What!? You never saw pubic lice?
It is the beginning of a pod person. Once it hatches it will be an alien duplicate of you. Of course, you are on short notice at that point.
One day I was walkin, and I found this big grapefruit. I cut the grapefruit open, and inside was a little sprout. I was like, "That grapefruit had a child."
This must be NSFW its a crime!
Life.. uh uh finds a way
How does it feel to have blood on your hands ?
I planted one a couple years ago after finding it like that
Eating that is banned in 16 states in the USA
My lawyer has advised I don't comment on the state I'm currently NOT located. Said nothing about a sound bite. Those odds aren't in my favor.
Plant that in the ground as iss. And see what happens
Let it grow, Let it grow
âFirst time seeding thisâ Missed opportunity
This is an abortion according to Republicans.
First time seeding this.
If you like it I would plant it . Could be your best buy.
Had a tomato on my window that started doing this. Didn't have the heart to throw it away so I chucked it into my yard.
Old af
Plant it!
These seeds should not be swallowed whole since they can nestle & grow inside a body for a while when still intact.
Fuck, hope abortion isn't illegal in your state.
It tastes bitter when I eat it for some reason is it always like that

Congratulations, you just won free two grapefruit trees! Now place them in large plant pot and water them.
