Breeding New Fruit Tree Landraces

[Justin]

@Justin

Funnily enough I heard of someone breeding citrus (I forget if it was lemons or what…) way beyond its natural range, by continually planting … maybe it was thousands of seeds… each year. Finally they succeeded. Not sure if they continued via sexual reproduction or grafting, but it anyway sounded like a cool project.

So apparently this was indeed about lemons and the story is reported by ‘David the Good’ in his book ‘Push the Zone’. I don’t have the book so was unable to find the name of the person.
