Correy says... Some fruit is not true to type from seed. eg citrus. So if you grow from seed it will taste different to it's parent tree. Here is some more info: Can Cross Pollination Effect the Flavour of Citrus If you name which fruit tree you are interested I may be able to list the pro's and con's of seedling vs grafted for you if you wanted. | About the Author Correy Woolloongabba, QLD 5th March 2008 |

Anonymous says... Who knows? You may very well get some fruit. It may not be very good quality though. Or maybe you will be lucky. It is this variability that is the risk you take with seeds as opposed to grafts, in most cases. An exception is the Kensington Mango - the fruit and plant will be identical to its parent, although a grafted one will probably fruit earlier. | About the Author Anonymous 7th March 2008 |
John says... I bought my star fruit six weeks ago. The day it got here it was 40c +, so were the next 5 days. then i planted it. Now about 2 weeks of that heat. I placed some green shade cloth around it and water it 3 times a week. Its grown 8 inches and doubled its branches. For ten to fifteen dollars just buy a seedling and get some fruit from it. | About the Author John SB South Australia 7th March 2008 |

John says... I find that it depends on how you water and fed the plant to when its starts fruiting. It comes down to having a huge tree or rather a runted small tree. I know I encourage my trees to grow and thr fruit will come in time in numbers size and quantity. If you start them to early as well they can become biannual which is a bitch to repair/undo. | About the Author John SB South Australia 7th March 2008 |
