Yuzu, grafted vs seedling fruit quality

I've bought a Yuzu seedling off Amazon & have only read up on it afterwards. It seems that it'll take it 5-7 years to fruit as opposed to 2-3 years from a grafted plant, £16 vs £60. But I'm also told that the fruits won't be much good.

Is this the case? I'm only after responses from people with personal experience in growing Yuzu & not guesses or comparable experience with other citrus.

Thanks!

Sadly I don't meet your requirements, but from experience with numerous things over the years including a variety of fruits. A named variety is almost always better than a random seedling as you don't know what you will get or when you will get it. Grafting a named variety onto a well characterised rootstock be it wisteria, lilac or apple gives better results generally quicker than a seedling.

 

Must admit I had to google to work out what a Yuzu is.

OK so it seems like it is some kind of citrus, possibly a species? rather than a variety??
But then I read it might possibly be a hybrid.

Anyway, I tend to think a seedling is unlikely to come up with the goods regarding fruit in the near future, and when it does it could be more like either parent.

I've got some 10yrs+ seed grown orange bushes and I'm still waiting to see a flower.

Edit, sorry just re read the last bit, so I wasted my time and yours.
Think I'd be a bit unhappy if I bought a plant and it arrived with a cut down drink bottle on the top of it.

 

Actually, it seems to me that the package protects the plant very well and preserves the humidity.

 

I agree, but it suggests it is from an individual that has planted some seeds rather than a commercial seller.
If a friend sent me a plant like that I would be very happy.

If I paid money for a plant and it tuned up in that manner I'd be slightly suspicious.

But then again, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
