     @killyourfm It'll be interesting to see what sprouts from these!

     My understanding is that citrus are one of the fruits that can mutate most, and a lot of agricultural citrus farms will graft parts of "known" / "stable" (not sure the best term here) types onto mature trees so they can predict what the fruit will be. But the seeds themselves can sometimes "revert" into their non-grafted ancestors with different flavors / sweetness / bitterness, etc.

     @ryanrandall I’ve heard about this from an avocado farmer who says theres about 1 in 10000 chance the avocado out you plant will turn out a clone of the original. Wild!

     It’ll be an interesting experiment.

     @killyourfm here’s 1 of 6 we have. My wife had 9 from our first batch that died when we forgot to bring them in when we had a cold snap of -15C overnight.
