orange repro

Did you read the responce to a similar post of your's about
seedless oranges? Fruit stores energy and other nutrients
favorable to the potential growth from the seeds new plants,
the same reason people benefit from them as well. The outer
part of the fruit quickly decays, which frees the nutrition
for the seeds and exposes the seeds to water etc. which it
needs to grow. If it is not of the "seedless" variety, see
previous post, most seeds will grow. I used to enjoy trying
any fruit seeds to see if they would grow when planted, many
do, including from an orange and other citrus fruits.
Peaches, apples, pears, dates, plums/prunes, and many others
will sometimes grow from planted seeds. These make
attractive ornamental plants, some will thrive outside
depending on climate. But the fruit, and often it does not
fruit, will not be of the quality of the original fruit, see
previous post for explanation. The most well known seed that
will not likely grow unless isolated from it's fruit
container is corn. Humans have so greatly modified it from
it's wild state, about 1500 years ago, that it can no longer
propagate on it's own. Corn cobs will rot on the ground
before sprouting.

how do oranges reproduce? i would guess it's the seeds
inside them, but, did nature really rely on oranges getting
busted open and spilling their seeds all over? it seems
hard for an orange to naturally break open. i think today's
oranges might be shooting blanks.

You have my condolences.
