Patio Orange was 10 days later than all my other varieties last year too. I just sowed it in the last flat so will see what it does this year.
I had a group of dwarfs and odd ones planted last month and Orange Tree germinated in 3 days without bottom heat. I was amazed, it wasn't just an early bird but all 7 seeds planted came up at once.
Tom, Paul Robeson was one of my earliest last year to germinate, but the source was Sand Hill. I have had such high germination from Sand Hill, that this year I got cocky and planted many fewer than usual of the varieties I ordered from them. Hope it works!
