The 4 others in the ground have not had any flowers. This tree had asexual flowers about 6 months ago but now it has 4 or 5 babies. This tree as opposed to the other 4 has lighter leaves (looked like it didn't get as much water) and seemed weaker. It is maybe 1/2 the size of the other 4 trees but is actually making babies which for me is insane for any citrus planted from seed this young.
What do you think?

One year and 7 months ago my son sent me some very kosher Yemenite Esrog seeds. I planted about 13 in pots and every one of them developed. I put 5 in the ground and got rid of the rest.
