We had some key limes the other day so I collected the seeds in an attempt to germinate them. Key limes are a great fruit to grow from seed because they grow true to seed and can produce fruit within a few years, whereas many fruits do not grow true and most take many years before there is a chance of fruit production. Here are a few pics. I gave a little extra help to two of the seeds by removing the seed coat. The others, I just allowed to germinate to the point where I could just see the root coming out and then planted them. They haven't sprouted yet, but I'll post updates on the progress of the seedlings.
