PROPAGATION
Limes and lemons are propagated by seed, sweet limes are raised by cuttings and layering. Pummelo, Grape fruit, Sweet orange and Mandarins are propagated by budding. Rough lemon is universally employed as a stock except in case of Mandarin for which Sweet lime stock is in common use.
For raising stock
plants, seed is extracted from rough lemon
which is ready for harvest in late
September or early October. For extraction of
seeds, tree ripe fruits are selected. They
are cut into two halves
