Adam says... I'm also after Seville orange trees or seed. Unfortunately all the trees I have seen to date are of the "Smooth Seville Orange" type which isn't what I'm after. "Seville orange" seems to be a synonym for "sour orange" of any type in Australia and the smooth seville appears to be a sour orange-pummelo hybrid. I am after is the type of rough skinned sour orange that is commonly seen in southern Spain (Seville for instance...) and is imported to Scotland for making marmalade. Known locally as Sevillano or Agrio de Espana, Real etc Are the Sour orange (Citrus aurantium) seeds sold for producing rootstock closer to what I am looking after? | About the Author Adam Melbourne 6th November 2008 3:54pm #UserID: 1613 Posts: 110 View All Adam's Edible Fruit Trees |

Adam says... The owners have said that they don't have them. Essentially I don't think that they exist in Australia now. None of the specialist growers have them and as the Smooth Seville has been around since the early 20th century, I think that this latter type has replaced the true Seville in Australia, both as a rootstock and as a fruit tree. The only source I can think of is if somebody had an older tree on a private property. | About the Author Adam Melbourne 10th November 2008 9:18am #UserID: 1613 Posts: 110 View All Adam's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie says... I have a Seville orange tree I planted about 15-18 years ago. It makes wonderful marmalade, and one lady travels up to the hills each year to get some oranges. I think so few people make marmalade these days,that there is not much demand for the tree. When they are ripe, I can send seeds to any one who wants them.

allybanana says... That’s great Mary, now the challenge of keeping them alive. I am not risking doing all to myself and have potted up a few seedlings, to be given away at the seed savers Lunch next week, to enthusiasts. Johno also collected some rough Seville seeds from a source in the ACT. So far Julies WA seedlings look similar to these but the smooth Seville seedlings look quite different. I have been growing a number of citrus from seed and it usually takes ages. I was so surprised at my stepdads heatmat and little greenhouse, the seeds jumped up quick and grew like the blazes. If anyone would like seedlings let me know. | About the Author allybanana Eden S-East NSW 7th December 2010 3:54pm #UserID: 4544 Posts: 372 View All allybanana's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... Thanks allybanana, another seed has sprouted since my last post - interesting to read about your stepdad's 'heatmat". My seeds only sprouted after I put the punnets on an old frying pan in the sun, then it happened within a couple of days. :) Hope they stay alive.

LOL I have seven seedlings so some of them will go elsewhere... love to know if the 'descendants' of the Julie Tree will spread around the country... the ripple effect.

allybanana says... Mary T, Great analogy that rich dark chocolate is bitter, but sooooo good. My family makes Seville orange marmalade to sell and it has a loyal following. I will ask them for the recipe for you Lachlann the next time I see them. Wow Lachlann, ID 873 you have been involved a while, my son Jesse and i put in the sugar cane, it is looking happy, the position has some protection from frost but it could get scorched on one side. Part of Johno and my interest in Seville is as a cold resistant, drought resistant rootstock for a largish tree. I heard somewhere Meyer lemon grafted onto it is a tough combination for dryer colder areas. I want to try grafting this combination and with Satsuma mandarin to grow in the ACT and a mates farm in Towamba southern NSW. A thoughtfully given fruit tree makes the best christmas and birthday presents I think. | About the Author allybanana Eden S-East NSW 24th December 2010 4:10pm #UserID: 4544 Posts: 372 View All allybanana's Edible Fruit Trees |

Grant says... Hi Julie I am chasing a couple of Seville Oranges as well. I have spoken to Olea who don't grow it anymore & also David's G/C who have stopped budding it as well. These 2 oranges I would like to grow at Pemberton although I could put 1 in at Araluen Botanic Park which would ensure the future of this variety for people to access. | About the Author Grant3 Roleystone 18th April 2011 2:29pm #UserID: 5201 Posts: 1 View All Grant3's Edible Fruit Trees |

Violet_Cactus says... Mine are growing well, Julie! Thanks again! From Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall - "As distinct from a regular orange as a tangerine or pomelo, these highly aromatic, bumpy-skinned wonders originated in China and India more than 3,000 years ago – their Indian name is "narayam", which means "perfume within". They were brought to Europe by Arab traders and groves of them were established in Andalucia, most notably around Seville, hence their name." RECIPE Seville orange curd An easy, tangy curd that's as delicious spread on toast as it is spread thickly in the middle of a Victoria sandwich. Makes about three 240ml jars. 200ml Seville orange juice (ie from about 3 oranges), strained Finely grated zest of 1 unwaxed navel orange 125g unsalted butter 400g granulated sugar 2 whole eggs plus 2 yolks, well beaten Put the juice, zest, butter and sugar in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl over a pan of just-simmering water. As soon as the butter has melted, and the mixture is hot and glossy, pour in the beaten eggs through a sieve and whisk with a balloon whisk. Stir the mixture over a gentle heat until it's thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 12-15 minutes – a sugar thermometer should read 82-84C . Pour immediately into warm, sterilised jars and seal. Use within three or four weeks, and keep in the fridge once opened.. | About the Author VioletCactus1 Melbourne 22nd April 2011 9:42pm #UserID: 516 Posts: 349 View All VioletCactus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Legadomaya says... Hi Julie, Could I grab some Seville Seeds too. We just cam back from Mexico and we are looking for a substitute for Naranja Agria which I have read up on. They use it a lot in the cooking from Merida. I think the orange Seville would be a good replacement. If you have the time to send them to Brisbane that would be great. Are they hard to propagate?

Xiem says... Yes I agree with Wazzbat. Julie has been very kind with her seeds. She has created a large seville orange julie-tree orchard albeit that it is fragmented into many different parts of the country.

Irene says... Just discovered this amazing forum after starting a batch of marmalade from the smooth-skinned bitter oranges. These are the only ones I can buy here. Am missing the rough-skinned ones, especially as in Sydney I'd raised 5 plants for 5 yrs from seeds from Seville and then had to give them away in order to move to Tassie. Would love to start a Tassie branch of Julie's Rough Seville plants.

Bernadette says... I'm so excited to just find this forum at the right time. July, I would REALLY appreciate some seeds too, if possible, and very happy to pay postage and packing etc. I'm in Sydney, and make marmalade each year from the common smooth skinned 'seville' oranges, but I remember having marmalade in England made from the rought skinned ones, and it was wonderful. I also belong to the local seed savers, and would also love to pass the Julia tree on. :-) Bernadette | About the Author Gardenia1 Sydney 30th August 2011 9:35am #UserID: 5741 Posts: 10 View All Gardenia1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jo LN says... Hi Julie, when your babies are ripe could I please have a go with your seeds? I used to make loads of marmalade with sevilles when we lived in the UK, I didn't eat it though because I was always on a diet! My husband says he'll even buy me a special pot to grow them in! Did you know that you can freeze the fruit to use later in the year? I used to buy bags of them in January and still be making marmalade in July.

amanda says... Julie - a good way around this is to set yourself up a gmail account - it's easy and free (rather than use your regular email account) and get people to make contact with you there and post their mailing address to this account... This way your home email account stays private. Maybe Daleys might be interested in the seeds too....given the popularity and rareness of this orange...?! :) | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton.

Prue says... I haven't lived in Perth for several years now, but once upon a time you could go 4 wheeling in an area near Kwinana and the old railway yard. There where some derelict homesteads out there with some old citrus trees, looked like an orange but tasted bitter. There was also lemon, cotton, garlic, pomegranate and mulberry? I don't know if this area is still around but thought it may be of interest to anyone SOR. | About the Author Prue Geraldton/White Peak 4th October 2011 6:52pm #UserID: 5921 Posts: 5 View All Prue's Edible Fruit Trees |

San says... Hi Julie, I am planting a group of citrus and wish to include a Rough Seville Orange. I was astonished to learn that they are so hard to source in Australia. Two days ago my search led me to this amazing forum. I would be most grateful to be able to obtain some seed and/or seedlings - so I will keep an eye out for your news of fruit. Apart from the new citrus trees I am planting, I have a lovely Meyer Lemon in a pot and access to a property with a 60+ year old Washinton Navel tree that produces prolifically each winter. | About the Author san Melbourne 12th October 2011 11:12am #UserID: 5945 Posts: 3 View All san's Edible Fruit Trees |

Giovanni says... Hi all; brilliant effort by everyone to keep the rough Seville going down under. I'm just preparing to establish a backyard espalier fruit orchard and would love to add home made marmalade to the mix. Does anyone anywhere around Melbourne/Geelong have a couple of seedlings to spare? Failing that some seeds would be greatly appreciated when available.

Julie says... I am really, really sorry, and more than a little embarassed - but it looks like no orange seeds this year. It has been a very strange year, weatherwise, and some of my fruits have not acted normally. The Seville just refuses to mature and turn orange, and the seeds have not really developed. Apologies to all the people who have been patiently waiting, and maybe better luck next year. | About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 5th December 2011 8:57pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |

jakfruit etiquette says... Probably from a Citrus seller, at Bris Mkts, otherwise fruit shops that carry more unusual stuff. The two main types here are called smooth seville and rough seville, which are sometimes sold for making marmalade. Smooth is like a big orange grapefruit, Rough seville is maybe closer to the type you know, but the juice is not much different. Fruit harvest is just finishing in Vic, so you might still catch some now. It is also used in middle east cusine, I think it's called naranj ? | About the Author 9th January 2012 10:05pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Ilijas says... Hi Neil, Julie has posted about this on another thread, and last year the fruits were affected by something and fell off without ripening, but is hoping to get a nice crop this winter so that she can save the seeds. She's been incredibly generous with it, and has said that she will post a new thread in a few months once the seeds are ready. | About the Author Ilijas Melbourne 6th April 2012 1:38pm #UserID: 6805 Posts: 29 View All Ilijas's Edible Fruit Trees |

lamboinoz says... After years (!) of submissions about marmalade - the best orange marm without doubt - finally Jakfruit mentioned his Cuban pork dishes. I'm from LA originally and living in Aus for most of my life, have always used the orange/lime/grapefruit/vinegar combo variously recommended as a replacement for Seville orange juice in many Mexican recipes, often for pork too. The food's great but it's not the same. For all you lucky Julie recipients, I suggest you start collecting Latin American recipes for the wonderful day your seedlings start to bear. So good. I just spoke to Engall's and their Seville is citrus aurantium but smooth-skinned. The fantastically helpful guy on the phone says they haven't been able to source rough-skinned stock for years. He said that though the species is the same the fruit characteristics differ. They continue to try to source the rough-skinned variety but didn't seem hopeful since for their purposes, the strain had to be certified. Julie, I wonder how tortuous that certification procedure is - maybe you can be the Seville queen of Australia. If anyone has managed to find rough-skinned Sevilles for sale, please say where. So many people have asked Julie for seeds for so long that I'm reluctant to add my name to the list. Furthermore, I turn 60 in a few months and I'd like to be able to try my cochinita pibil before the age pension. Still, better then than never, I guess. If anyone can help that would be great. Meanwhile, I'm going to try a smooth-skinned which hopefully will be closer to the real thing than my weird variously citric/vinegar combo. lancegantman at yahoo dot com.au | About the Author lamboinoz sydney 4th August 2012 12:16pm #UserID: 7134 Posts: 5 View All lamboinoz's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie says... lamboinoz, I wonder what they mean by 'certified'? I could send them a fruit and some foliage if this helped to identify it. Can you let me know their email address? A man who read this forum visited me last summer and took some cuttings - I must contact him to see how they went. My last two remaining seedlings are now around 75cm, and putting on new growth, so they are relatively quick growing. I planted my tree when I was around 60, so don't give up. I'm still planting trees at 75! larissa, hopefully, I will have seeds in a few weeks, so watch the forum - I'll start a new thread. | About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 4th August 2012 8:29pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |

Ilijas says... Slightly off-topic, but I've been looking high and low in Melbourne to find the Rough Seville fruits, and no one seems to even know what they are. The only thing I've found is a grocer in Dandenong Plaza that has the smooth Seville fruits every year. I have to admit that they do make a nice marmalade, but it's not anywhere near the depth of flavour that the real Seville has. Anyone had any luck finding any rough Seville fruits from a grocer or farm? | About the Author Ilijas Melbourne 7th August 2012 6:10pm #UserID: 6805 Posts: 29 View All Ilijas's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie says... OK Phil - done. I need your address. Hope I get enough seeds for everyone - so far I'm rationing individals to six seeds. Not being mean, but I would rather send a few to a lot of people than a lot to a few. They germinated so well last time you should at least get four or five trees, which ought to keep everyone happy! Phil, you're not wrong, that is a very time-consuming, complicated recipe. I use lots more water, and just soak the seeds overnight, cooking them in a little bag with the rest, then removing the bag. I thought people liked the slight bitterness - isn't that what makes Seville a bit different? | About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 1st September 2012 7:10pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |

It's not as big as it should be because every time I go away it gets attacked by something but it recovers. I'm sure it will breathe a sigh of relieve to be planted in your holiday resort of a garden.

PhilC says... Hi Julie, The seeds arrived in the post today. They are already in a seed raising kit, on a heat mat, under a light. Looking forward to germination... I have put a book of stamps into an envelope for you and will post next time I go to town, probably early next week. Many thanks and cheers. | About the Author PhilC Bega Valley 18th September 2012 4:49pm #UserID: 7216 Posts: 6 View All PhilC's Edible Fruit Trees |

lamboinoz says... Of the 10 seeds that received some unfortunate neglect before planting, the first seedling showed up at exactly 3 1/2 weeks, another 3 over the following 3 days, another a day later and I was happy at 50% germination, given the circumstances. Then yesterday at more than 4 1/2 weeks another showed up. Surely that's it... Anyone had seelings appear after more than a 5 week wait? | About the Author lamboinoz Sydney 10th November 2012 11:48am #UserID: 7134 Posts: 5 View All lamboinoz's Edible Fruit Trees |

lamboinoz says... Thanks VF. I've now got 8 seedlings up and like you I scratched around a couple of days ago also finding the last seeds with emerging roots. Julie is a packer par excellence. Janita, I got 3 single stems, 1 triple and 4 doubles. Here's something from another blog: "They should be separated. Your most dominant seedling is most likely the clone seedling (the variety you're trying to propagate), and the less vigorous seedlings are usually the embryonic seedling(s) (those developing from the fertilization of the seed, thus being some unknown hybrid). Most citrus are polyembryonic, so you can get both clonal seedlings that will true to type, as they are an exact clone of the mother plant, as well as zygotic seedlings (those created by some other citrus pollen fertilizing the zygote). The Seville orange I believe is polyembroyonic and should have a clonal seedling (the bigger one) that is a clone of the mother tree. So, separate your seedlings and then mark them as the clone or the hybrid from each tree seed. You will see what your get as far as fruit goes in about 7 to 10 years, when they bear fruit. They might bear sooner, but usually seedlings will take much longer to bear fruit than their grafted counterparts." | About the Author lamboinoz Sydney 21st November 2012 6:38pm #UserID: 7134 Posts: 5 View All lamboinoz's Edible Fruit Trees |

diana says... My 30+ year old Seville tree has been incredibly prolific for years: 120 oranges this season (and it's a compact, small tree). A month ago I noticed the leaves had dropped off one branch. I'be been away since then and got home to find the entire tree bare and - presumably - dead. Any ideas about what might have happened? I've done nothing unusual to or for it that I can think of. | About the Author diana3 sydney 22nd November 2012 11:55pm #UserID: 7447 Posts: 1 View All diana3's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... diana that is the saddest story and if I'd know your tree was in Sydney I would have visited you before its demise. Hope you've saved seeds and have seedlings. I have no idea why it should die suddenly but perhaps the brain trust on this forum can explain.

Brain says... My sympathies. My lemon tree went the same way. It was growth from seeds and my late grandfather selected this particular one from many seedlings and planted it. After a few years, it started to fruit prolifically. Then it was attacked by stink bugs and whilst I'm trying to keep that under control, it started to lose leaves, and then the whole tree lost all its leaves and died. I think the stink bugs weakened the tree and some soil borne diseases finished it off. By any chance, is your tree on clay soil? I'm inclined to say root rot as well as there are no other signs of why the tree suddenly lost all its leaves. Also, proceeding the final death, there was a lot of rain in Brisbane that year. If there are any fruits, I'd save them and replant the seeds or see if you can find any nodes/buds where you can transplant it onto another citrus. | About the Author Brain Brisbane 23rd November 2012 10:19pm #UserID: 6289 Posts: 638 View All Brain's Edible Fruit Trees |

Tracy says... I have just found this forum after looking for information about growing seville oranges in NSW. I was lucky enought to find a tree in Bunnings of all places about six months ago, but then reading that there are different varieties, had to check what I had as want it for marmalade making. It is citrus sinensis and described as having a thick dimpled skin and prized for making marmalade, do hopefully I have the right one. Not being a very good gardener, I didn't read the label, was just so delighted to find the tree so was unaware that I have planted a tree that will grow to 8 meters in the chooks pen in a very small garden ! It is also planted in clay soil, which is all I have unfortunately. It seems to be doing really well, has nearly doubled in size and is now covered in fragrant flowers. Should it have flowered earlier? Would like to hear from anyone living nearby how their trees are going. If I had found this forum earlier, would have loved to carry on the Julie tree, but I think one is more than enough for my little back yard! | About the Author Tracy2 Newcastle NSW 9th January 2013 3:05pm #UserID: 7595 Posts: 3 View All Tracy2's Edible Fruit Trees |

Xiem says... I think you have a sweet orange Tracy, whereas a lot of marmalade aficionados go for the bitter orange citrus aurantium. All depends on what you want. You could probably obtain some bitterness by using lemons with your oranges when you get around to making marmalade. http://users.kymp.net/citruspages/souroranges.html#sevillano | About the Author Diego 9th January 2013 3:19pm #UserID: 4715 Posts: 283 View All Diego's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brain says... If your label reads Seville, chances are, you are most likely to have the Australian Smooth Flat Seville version, as no one on the East coast sells the real deal - which is the Spanish Rough Skinned Seville. Which is also why we are very grateful for Julie's seeds as it is the currently the known source that is available to us folks on the 'retail' level. Though OLEA does have it listed as wholesale in WA. I am also inclined to believe the label reading Citrus Sinensis is another error on the label. As for the description, as most people are not aware there are 2 types of Seville in existance in Australia, they would have simple 'googled' Seville orange and lifted the common phrase "thick dimpled skin and prized for making marmalade" - which is the standard description for Spanish Seville. I think the best way to tell is to have a fruit at maturity and then you'd know for sure (from taste and texture). As it is flowering, so keep up the good work and I hope you get some fruit this year. It is hard to say whether it should flower now as this is dependant on a host range of factors like variety, climate, tree health etc. Citrus generally does not like wet feet - in fact it can kill them (i.e. due to root rot), so clay is not prefered but some rootstock is more tolerant to clay. you really just have to monitor moisture levels and try not to overwater. I would not be concerned about the 8m in height, as that's probably the maximum height but you can always prune it to a more desirable height. I think if you google enough, there are plenty of people using all sorts of citrus to make marmalade, so I wouldn't be discouraged on whether you have the real Seville or not. | About the Author Brain Brisbane 10th January 2013 11:55am #UserID: 6289 Posts: 638 View All Brain's Edible Fruit Trees |

Tracy2 says... Thankyou for your replys and interesting information. I think I will have to wait and see if I get some fruit this year and keep my fingers crossed it is a bitter Seville, although it sounds unlikely! Being from the UK, Ido love my bitter marmalade. We have a green grocer that does get bitter Seville oranges in, and I eagerly await their arrival. This year I made 48 jars so hopefully they will last 12 months! Unfortunately, a big supermarket has opened up right near to him and I know business isn't going too well so Im not sure about getting them in the future. I may be chasing up a Julie tree after all!

Brain says... Also I would suggest if and when you get your next batch of rough seville oranges, save plenty of seeds and grow them or do a seed swap with fellow members. They may not be "Julie" tree but some genetic diversity may not be a bad thing. If you'd like, we will call the future seedlings "Tracy" tree. LOL. Also, if you wouldn't mind asking the grocer where he gets his stock from, i.e. the farm. Would be good to know where those trees are from and potentially get some mature budwood, which Daley Fruit might even consider propagating and selling to us. | About the Author Brain Brisbane 15th January 2013 6:54pm #UserID: 6289 Posts: 638 View All Brain's Edible Fruit Trees |

Carol Pitlock says... Julie, I'm outside Houston Texas. I think I have Seville Oranges on my tree that was labeled as a Navel Orange. Is it possible that the Seville was used as root stock and the graft didn't take? There are about 50 seeds in each orange and the fruit is sour no matter when I pick it. The fruit lasts on the tree for months. I pick them as I need them. Anyhow, I'd love your recipe for Orange Marmalade... I don't like what I'm finding on the cooking Web sites. Thank you.

Brain says... My understanding is no. I did some reading on citrus seeds to fruiting. And apprently, there is a thing called 'node count' and it is an indicator of maturity. The paper suggested that until the plant reached certain node count (or time), it won't flower and fruit. However, being grafted on a established tree would mean it might probably grow faster, hence reaching the node count a bit quicker. | About the Author Brain Brisbane 15th July 2013 11:04am #UserID: 6289 Posts: 638 View All Brain's Edible Fruit Trees |

AliK says... Hi Orange lovers, I'm new to Australia and have been looking for a specific type of orange which has the characteristics of Seville Orange. I’ve tried some nurseries and even some Orange Gardens North of Swan Valley, but it was not what I was looking for. Going through all posts, I can see how much effort you guys have done and am very happy to see so many people keen and interested in Seville Oranges ! As there are so many different types, is there any chance for me to have a look at the trees before asking you for seeds, I am not sure if Seville is exactly what I'm looking for, the pictures look alright, does the blossoms smell good during spring, and the fruits remain on the tree for long time without going bad ?

jakfruit etiquette says... Do you know the name of the type you are looking for, or the country it's from. Basically there are 2 main types of seville here. Smooth Sevile has grapefruit like leaves and fruit(orange skin). Rough Seville has pointed spear shaped leaves with a wide petiole(leaf base). The leaves of rough are very fragrant. There is also Bergamot orange in Australia.

AliK says... Thanks jakfruit; According to the above website, most Probably, I'm looking for bittersweet orange, which is found in Afghanistan. We also have it in Iran and use the juice as salad dressing, boil it and reduce it to a souring agent for cooking and most interesting, we use the blossoms for flavouring tea. Also you can use the extract of the blossoms for flavouring ice-cream, cake and etc. We call it “Naranj” or “Narenj”, find more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitter_orange | About the Author Ali Joondalup 5th March 2014 3:20pm #UserID: 9590 Posts: 5 View All Ali 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Adrian says... My seedling tree will produce rough skinned Seville oranges as the seeds come true to type but be prepared to wait around 5 years or so for fruit. To plant seeds just wait till first month of spring passes then put seed in prepared pot which has been kept warm outside, no need to peel outer skin off seed, keep soil in pot slightly moist not damp and don't put in direct sun until leaves appear, might take a couple of weeks to germinate as citrus love warmer weather Adrian. | About the Author Adrian Melrose Park, SA 8th July 2015 12:17pm #UserID: 11261 Posts: 11 View All Adrian's Edible Fruit Trees |

Harry says... I was told that it could take up to 7 years to bear fruit – but if you graft it onto a more vigorous rootstock (rough lemon?), it should bear much sooner than that! https://www.daleysfruit.com.au/forum/seville-orange-fruiting/?PHPSESSID=e0b8069b70db8e407137fc87cb1dcc76 | About the Author Harry ROXBURGH PARK,3064,VIC 8th July 2015 5:16pm #UserID: 4975 Posts: 46 View All Harry's Edible Fruit Trees |

Adrian says... I would just grow stock from Seville seeds and graft on to them...the trick to get fruit sooner is to take bud wood from a tree that has reached fruit bearing age. I have quite a few multi grafted citrus trees including lemon,lime & grapefruit..Imperial, Emperor and Japanese Seedless mandarin, Tangelo, Red Grapefruit and Valencia plus about 8 other orange trees. | About the Author Adrian Melrose Park, SA 8th July 2015 5:41pm #UserID: 11261 Posts: 11 View All Adrian's Edible Fruit Trees |

AliK says... Hi Julie, I hope you're doing well, it's always heartwarming when your tree fruits for the first time specially if grown from seed. I took one of your trees 2 years ago, around June, I took the bigger one of the two and I am assuming above is the smaller one blossoming now. Unfortunately my tree has not progressed much, it has grown taller, but not much luck with any fruits yet, Ant advise on what to do and what not, Cheers | About the Author Ali Joondalup 31st August 2015 12:41am #UserID: 9590 Posts: 5 View All Ali 's Edible Fruit Trees |

AliK says... Thanks Adrian, According to Julie, the seedling that I took was 3 years old at 2013, so by now it should be around 5 years old. It's already meter+ tall. I haven't use fertilisers and its planted in a pot, will update a photo during the weekend. Can I graft a branch to another citrus tree that is fruiting, for example a dwarf lemon tree that I have ?

Julie says... AliK says..." I haven't use fertilisers". Well, that could be your problem, as citrus are fairly heavy feeders. It would be OK to give it some fertiliser now. Dynamic lifter is good, plus a good dose of Seasol. Citrus in pots can be given small amounts of fertiliser throughout the growing season. You should see some improvement in growth as the weather warms. | About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 1st September 2015 3:46pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |

Am trying to put a vid together on grafting/budding as the visual is far better than text. All the grafts I did in early autumn are now starting to grow, one of them is a Japanese seedless mandarin (delicious) I budded on to a branch of a lemon tree I have..will post some pics in a day or 2 of my grafting.

Hi again everyone, I have many seedlings started maybe 80 or so and will post periodically on their progress and can arrange somehow if people want any of them but won't be available until they get about a metre high, these are 100% rough skinned Seville seedlings which will produce from 4-5 years of age. Here is a pic of some seedlings about a week old.

Gardenia1 says... I'd like to thank JULIE who sent me some seeds last spring - my apologies I'm so late to email, but a family crisis intervened. Australia Post was rough with the envelope so the plastic bag broke and the seeds got rather dry. Miraculously 4 did sprout, though very late and growing slowly, but now it looks like my babies should make it. When they are a bit bigger and stronger I'll offer the extra on to others. Someone has since told me they saw some rough skinned seville oranges for sale at a Farmer's market in Lilyfield in Sydney last September. Looked the real deal - only small quantity available, sold as Seville only for marmalade. So I'll check it out later this year and post if it looks good.

Adrian says... Gender of trees is associated with the flower rather than the fruit. Usually most flowers are perfect, meaning they have both male and female parts; an orange tree has a perfect flower. Some fruits need seeds to make growth hormones so that the fruit will develop normally, however there are a few fruit which develop without seed such as Oriental persimmons and navel Oranges. These trees are very susceptible to stress as stress causes the fruit to drop. So seediness of fruit is a function of the type of fruit, rather than the gender of the fruit. | About the Author Adrian Melrose Park 8th September 2016 12:05am #UserID: 14068 Posts: 27 View All Adrian 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Hi again, today is Nov 20 and a very hot day too, here are the seeds I mentioned a few months ago, we had a very slow start to spring but now the very warm weather has arrived, the seeds have sprouted and are well on their way, I will pot them all individually as I go and weed out the stragglers. All these seedlings are definitely rough skin seville seedlings. Adrian.

BruceH says... I have a tree grown from seed taken from a very feral orange tree growing by the roadside. It has smallish fruit (about 4 cm), long thorns (5-6cm ouchy!) and a rambling habit. I have just pruned it back to about 1.2m high, mainly to get rid of the gall wasp. It does get the usual bugs etc, but the fruit is deliciously tart and makes a great marmalade. Does anyone know if this is a Seville or a throw-back to something else. | About the Author BruceH Alstonville 25th May 2017 5:35pm #UserID: 16221 Posts: 12 View All BruceH's Edible Fruit Trees |

brad16 says... Hi Bruce. 4 cm diameter seems a bit too small to be a 'Seville' orange in my opinion, so a kumquat was just the first alternative that I thought would be most likely. Another suggestion could be Citrus (or Poncirus) trifoliata. It is a very common root-stock for grafting. These match your description so far and a few identifiers could be: * the tree is known to be deciduous. * leaves form in clusters of three (hence its name, trifoliata). * the fruit can have a downy texture. Here is a link to a blog about them at 'Horticulture by Heart'. It has some very good pictures of mature trees with leaves, flowers and fruit. www.aubreecherie.com/horticulturebyheart/2009/09/plant-poncirus-trifoliata/ Outside of that, I don't have any more suggestions. Being a seedling tree, from what would be expected to be another seedling tree ... etc, anything is possible and it may well be from 'Seville' parentage (or not). | About the Author brad16 GOROKAN,2263,NSW 29th May 2017 1:05pm #UserID: 14079 Posts: 175 View All brad16's Edible Fruit Trees |

BruceH says... Hi again Brad. I had looked at the trifoliata, it has a bit in common esp. in the thorn department and size of fruit. But the leaves are not in threes, the fruit isn't downy at all (just your standard orange skin), and it's not deciduous. Maybe it doesn't get cold enough here. Will try and get a pic.

BruceH says... Hi jakfruit etiquette, Thanks for your interest. It certainly has a lot in common with the rough lemon except for the fruit. It doesn't have the color or rough skin of a lemon. The flesh and skin are typically orange, and isn't rough or bumpy. Just looks like a standard orange but smaller. Very bitter though.

BruceH says... Hi all, I took a trip in the countryside and eventually found the tree under a mass of lantana and guava. Having had a look at this original more mature tree I think the consensus will be that it is a Seville variety. There were no fruit obvious, but closer inspection in the waist high grass revealed quite a few fruit still connected but on the ground. The size ranges from about 5-7cm as shown in the pics. Thorns were not as obvious as on my three year old tree, but still there! Pretty sure it will be a Seville. Probably has a botanical name of Ferrelus Sevillus (hah). Any other ideas? Thanks, Bruce

BruceH says... Thanks for all the feedback folks. I guess the jury is still out at the moment, I have googled the suggestions and nothing seems to match 100% so far. The comment re petiole is interesting. Are you saying Kerry that you would expect to see a wide (flat) petiole if it were Seville? Does the tendency for some fruit to hang below the tree on longish stems, sometimes with multiple fruit clustered on the same stem ring any bells? Both the 'original' tree and my seedling have this tendency. Or is that just down to poor / nonexistent pruning? Thanks, Bruce. | About the Author BruceH Alstonville 2nd June 2017 2:02pm #UserID: 16221 Posts: 12 View All BruceH's Edible Fruit Trees |

BruceH says... Hi all, been waiting to get some pics from my tree. So I have emergent leaves which are pinkish red in color, and another poor shot of some adult leaves. I'm thinking that jakfruit etiquette is pretty close with the suggestion of Rangpur Lime. I have asked a friend at NSW DPI to give me an opinion. Thanks, Bruce

Adrian says... 8 years is way too long to wait but that's the great unknown growing from seed and not grafting, I grow from seed and when 8 months old bud graft a bud from a fruit bearing rough skin Seville tree and after 2 years of that graft growing it will fruit. The 2nd pic is the bud graft I did in Dec 2016 and the 1st pic I just took (June 28, 2017) which shows a few months of summer growth, when spring returns (September) it will really take off and will flower and fruit in September 2018.

Anthony says... Hi Julie. I received some seeds from you about 3 years ago. I think! After germinating well, they spent 2 years in pots and did really well, growing to about 80cm tall. Gave a couple to family and planted 1 in the ground in my orchard about 12 months ago. It just took off and is now about 2m tall, and it's been a pretty dry, hard year. It has never faltered! Not sure when it will flower, but it's heading into its 4th year, and it's definitely big enough to hold fruit! Time will tell. | About the Author Anthony Plainland 2nd July 2017 6:19pm #UserID: 9188 Posts: 92 View All Anthony's Edible Fruit Trees |

Azar says... Hi Julie , You are right , Yes you have kindly sent me 10 seeds and 9 of them grew , but I don't know what happend and few month after they grew I found their stem were cut , I thought a bird or possom has cut them . My current tree is about 14 years old and one if my friends gave it to me when it was about 56 years old in a pot. Until last year it did not blossom ,but I had 4-5 fruits last year and this year I think I habd about 20-30 fruits.

Azar says... My tree is about 14 years old I think , I have got it in a pot when it was about 6 years old , and after planing in the ground I changed its place , sotrobably that was the reason that I had fruits after so many years . 2 years ago I was thinking to cut the tree! , I think the tree heard me! | About the Author Azar Hawthorn 4th July 2017 12:04am #UserID: 16357 Posts: 18 View All Azar's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie says... So glad to hear all these trees are doing well. I had never grown an orange from seed until 8 years ago when I started sending seeds to people on this forum. Azar, those cut off seedlings are a mystery.

You didn't put a return address on the envelope but if you give it to me I will be very happy to send you some stamps to pay for the postage.

Merry says... I have a smooth skinned seville in my garden, it was planted last year at the same time as other citrus and is very vigorous.I think I got it from Bunnings. I got one fruit from it and was made into marmalade together with a few lemons/limes from the garden. If there are any spare seeds I would like to try to grow a rough skinned seville.

PeterM1 says... I used damp paper towel in a ziplock bag to get those seedlings started. I've always had excellent germination rates with that method. My parents have a few citrus seedlings in their garden which are the result of random seeds tossed off the patio, so they can grow if you're lucky. That said, they're basically in full shade, competing with other garden plants and are the result of literally hundreds of seeds we've tossed off the patio into the garden over the years. | About the Author PeterM1 GLENWOOD,2768,NSW 12th February 2018 9:28pm #UserID: 17247 Posts: 7 View All PeterM1's Edible Fruit Trees |

brad16 says... Depending on whether or not you like Diggers and are happy to pay a membership fee: https://www.diggers.com.au/shop/fruit/citrus-trees/orange-rough-seville/wcitse/ The $24.95 is a member's price (so assuming it is for members only, so you'll have to also purchase a membership). Being supplied in a 'tree pot' means it will be small, so these aren't exactly cheap. That said, if you're a devout marmalade junkie, you may think this acceptable just to get you what you want. I personally am not keen on their membership scheme, but don't disagree with it either. Their main interest is the upkeep of heritage sites and gardens. The membership supports this and invites people who also share their ideals, while membership and plant sales fund the operations of the trust. https://diggersfoundation.org/ gives you an idea of what they do. Knowing that your money funds these interests may be more inviting. If anything, it's better than it paying for someone's luxury yacht and private jet. Diggers estimate availability later this month. I don't make marmalade, so just letting those who do know about this option. BTW. I'm not sure if this is a seedling or grafted. There isn't a mention of grafting in the add, so it may be a seedling. You'd have to confirm that with Diggers. | About the Author brad16 GOROKAN,2263,NSW 6th September 2018 11:03am #UserID: 14079 Posts: 175 View All brad16's Edible Fruit Trees |

jakfruit etiquette says... Hi Ali, Citrus need to reach a certain size and maturity to first flower. For 99% of Citrus types,leaving a small plant in a pot for many years will not reach that maturity, despite the years. Basically the faster you can get the plant to plus 2 metres tall, the sooner it will be ready to flower. This is called the Citrus node count if you want to research that. Cincturing a Citrus might have some effect on inducing maturity, but its not consistent across all types. Grafting part of your seedling onto another Citrus, and using that to push the growth might speed up maturity. But you still need to get the new branch to 2m tall etc as fast as possible. ps Never prune a Citrus seedling that you want to flower. You are only removing nodes and slowing growth. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 8th September 2018 9:31am #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie says... I received an email from Wendy in Katoomba NSW, who would like to know if anyone can spare a Seville seedling. She has tried to join the forum but found the site too difficult to navigate. If you can help her,please email wendyj dot noble at gmail dot com. I've noticed recently a lot of posters putting their phone no's and email addresses here. Not a good idea! Please stay safe from spammers and use the above format. | About the Author Julie ROLEYSTONE,6111,WA 9th September 2021 12:15am #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |

Lou.M says... Hi everyone I've been after a seville orange for a while now and finally stumbled onto this forum - still going strong after more than a decade! I'm quite keen to try growing some rough sevilles from seed, so if anyone could provide some seeds I'd be really grateful. Happy of course to pay postage etc. Email is louismoran1 at gmail dot com.
