Lemon Tree – Tree Vs. Vine

Question

I have been planting lemon trees from seed for a couple months, but I am noticing that some of the seeds are developing into a vine-like sapling as opposed to a more standard young tree. Is there any reason for this? Are these different types of lemons?

Answer 1

It appears that some other seed has made its way into the soil at some point. That does not appear to be a citrus.

However, if you crush the leaves and get that standard "citrus" smell... There is a chance that it could be infected with a viral infection.

This is not likely, as it would have spread to the other plants, but is a possibility.
