#polyembryonic

Mango seeds come in two types, monoembryonic and polyembryonic. As the prefixes indicate, one type has one embryo, and the other has multiple embryos. Monoembryonic mango seeds are not going to grow true to the parent fruit, but a polyembryonic mango seed will most likely grow true and have the same characteristics and flavor as the mother plant. These 3 sprouts came from one tiny little “Mango Ti Bozo” seed. Mangos sprout so easily that I just dump seeds in a corner after eating and transplant whatever starts popping out the shells. #growninhaiti #mango #polyembryonic #seedlings #seeds #growth #reforestation #preservation #exoticfruittrees #fruit #exotic #exoticfruit #tropical #tropicalfruit #fruitarian #vegan #plantbased #organic #plantsomething #haiti #ayiti #nursery #foodforest #livingseedbank https://www.instagram.com/p/BqzmfZ0DMJY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tpsp8nnx75u7

So far the lemons seem to be regular, single embryo seeds. I haven’t seen any growth yet from the meyer lemon seeds, but it took almost 3 weeks for my first batch of citrus seeds to emerge.
