I think mine are non flying dragon ones.
The vertically-oriented ones would make a great hedge and a somewhat less dwarfing rootstock.

Looks cool! It will be interesting to see how they develop.

Me too! If any tend toward maintaining that trait I will try isolating those by themselves to see if I can breed that trait in just for kicks.
More leaves the more cold hardy, right?

At what point are citrus leaves bifoliate instead of monofoliate?
My grapefruit seedling that has experienced many freezes and winters withouth dying, out of about 50 seedlings.

That’s not bifoliate, it’s a winged petiole.

Yes, but at what point would a winged petiole considered a bifoliate?

Never. It’s a winged petiole. Bifoliate means two separate leaves emerge from the same leaf stem

Ok, so I was completely wrong on what was bifoliate. Is there any citrus that are genetically bifoliate? Or is it just a deformity??
Giant non-russet Korean pear from the store seedling, gooseberry seedling I found growing under one of my pear trees, and Chinese crown pear seedling.
Lots of odd young leaves on the first one.

Love it, I do the same thing. With plums apples and peaches. Sprout seedlings and graft them over after year 2. I sell them very cheaply at the annual PTA plant sale. They love it when parents participate too so they have more than veggie starts planted by the kids.

These two trifoliate seedling have been up for over a week and are still white. Possible reasons why?
They aren’t producing chlorophyll because they are mutants, just like they can be variegated they can be totally white, typically they are extremely low vigor and die soon after sprouting
