  • Excellent! Everyone should do this imagine...free lemons :)

  • Heres a tip: Dry the seeds with tissue straight after romoving them from the lemon and peel away the outer shell. This will result in much faster germination (Instead of 3-4 weeks it will take less than a week)

  • She only tells you that you can take out the seeds, and put them in dirt. Really? I would never think that far! .. It would be good if they actually told you what kind of soil, fertilizer, and so on.. L.O.L!

  • pause 0:10

  • @heavym3tal I wonder if it was something to do with the ph levels. I bet thay were to acidic for mold to grow. I dont know but its intersting maby by useing lemon juce on other seeds wile useing the same prosedure might keep the seeds untill thay sprout. Some people actualy cook with lemon juce lemon juice and no flame but it onley works with some meats.

  • @gary77777778888888 nope, but when I tried to do the same with pecans, they molded.

  • @heavym3tal did some of them mold to?

  • @loveallhappiness not sure...but with my grapefruit tree, I put the seeds in a plastic bag with a moist paper towel. The seeds took about a month to sprout.

  • i need a lemon treeeeeeeee!!!!

  • how long will it take to sprout?
