We haven't, yet. But, those, along with others, we are going to plant.

No reason why it shouldn't do well.  Citrus thrives in the deserts of Arizona where the summertime temps get to 115 or 120 degrees.  That stuff doesn't like it when the temperature gets down to freezing, but when was the last time you saw that happen in Cambodia?

Can you buy the babies there, or do you have to grow from seed?

It doesn't freeze, but, during "winter" months, it can get pretty danged cool at night.

Yes. But, keep in mind, oranges here have a green skin. They are also expensive, per Chan.

   When I was in Cebu I successfully propagated Lime, orange, grapefruit, lemon from seeds obtained from fruit purchased in the stores.    Were doing well last time I seen them.     Fertility rate was very poor.   Maybe one success out of 1 hundred seeds.

      Tried many ways.    Direct from thhe fruit into soil.   Dried them for a couple months & then planted.     Froze them for a few weeks then planted.    Cut small slit in side of seed before planting.

    Started some in cotton balls in plastic water bottles using rain water, regular tap water and bottled water.      Some seeds I just stuck in dirt at varying depths.      Do not remember which if any method was most successful now.     Actually got one grape plant to grow but that was at a difficult time in life (seperated from my ball & chain) and do not know if it lived.

Citrus fruits grow very well here in Cambodia. Orange, lemon and lime. Grape will also do well  :)
