Limes SEEDLESS ???!!!!
I won't tell you how many pounds of limes I've bought looking for a seed!
Years ago they all had seeds. What's up?
Now that I want to start a lime plant...darn!

Man oh man, Laaz, hadn't seen some of those.
Wow...and those purple buds/blossoms are stunning on that one.
Jeez, why am I killing myself trying to get my cycad to throw out a new flush of leaves when these limes are so GD gorgeous! ha ha
OK, top of my grocery list is KEY LIMES IN A MESH BAG. Anybody gets the order wrong, back to the store!
Steve, just go to the liquor store...get some Corona, and then *POOF*, "Hey I need some limes" ha ha
I cannot believe THOSE GORGEOUS PICS...Everybody have a look at them!!!!!
They're fast which is good because I have NO PATIENCE...for anything...least of all plants.
I'm a convert
Thanks, Laaz, for that. In 3 years I'll be sharing pics with YOU!

Do not dry citrus seeds. You don't have to treat them at all, but if you like you can dust them with a fungicide powder. I take them right out of the fruit & right into the planting medium. They should sprout in 7 - 14 days.

Hey, I've got three pyracantha (wish they'd croak...big time!) so I'm used to thorns.
I had read on the internet that thornless lime don't produce reliably, so I'm happy to deal with the spikes
And you folks had better plan on a trip up here (say, in three years, ha ha) to see my NEW beauties.
Remember the cold beer always available? Yes, it is.
I am so excited by these limes.
Thanks for sharing your know-how.

PS--Palms are wonderful, cycads drain my energy just waiting for them to grow.
but for those of us retired folks...who's got the TIME to wait????
I think the limes will do the trick!

I am not piling on, but, I have germinated many seeds and given them away to friends and neighbors. I am not sure how many are still growing, all I know is mine are still growing and thorning. Try another bag of key limes, I am sure you'll get it done this time.

I planted mine right away without letting the seed dry. I washed them off and planted in small cups , put a plastic bag over the cup for humidity and placed in a warm place. They should begin to pop in just a few weeks. Good luck.
