Growing satsumas from seed.

[spairtime]

I have planted 4 satsuma seeds and 3 of them produce 2 seedlings each and 1 of them produce 3 seedlings. What should I do with these let them keep growing or should I pick the healthiest one from each seed and cut the others off at soli level.

Thanks

Let them grow and then graft them. I’ve got about five grafts coming along nicely. Especially if you use mature graftwood. Just be warned, they’ll only be as cold tolerant as a satsuma, not flying dragon and other root stock.

I did not realize it should be grafted when grown from seed. What is the benefit of grafting?
