    I have a habit of sticking random fruit seeds in pots on my window sill and not marking what they are (mostly because i feel they won't grow anyways!). Now looks like this guy has began to grow... and i have no idea what it is! The seed was pretty "husky" and is in the first photo! I feel like it might be some citrus?

    Thanks for your help!

    Don't know what it is but it's not citrus.

    Most definitely not a citrus.
    Seed pod looks kind of like a flowering maple - abutilon. Leave is iffy as there are so many variations in shape - are they soft/fuzzy?

    Wow very surprising! The leaves are quite thin and very soft to the touch but not fuzzy at all.

    Ditto to a maple seedling, though too young yo identify which species yet.
