I did it!.....took a seed from an orange and got it to sprout!.....seed came from my father-in-laws orange tree in south Texas.......now I gotta figure out how to keep it alive....anybody got any pointers?......I have one orange and one lemon tree in my orchard......they seem to handle the light winters here.....anyways, here it is about 1" high: I feel like "The Martian".......
