So these are in the seedbank and the only info I can find is of Orange trees. Is that what they are?
Citrus x aurantium "Bitter Orange"

Of a kind, yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitter_orange

Cool. I just thought it was odd they are in the Seedbank. I guess I would not be able to grow since I am in the Northwest.

There are folks who grow such things as houseplants. I don’t. Not enough space and providing sufficient light would be problematic. Also, they are highly prone to spider mites and other pests … especially indoors.

I have two baby trees that I started from these seeds in the seedbank! IIRC the donor mailed them to the seedbank from Europe. It's fun to try something different. I've been tempted to send in some of my tobacco seeds, because tobacco is supposedly protocarnivorous. So is cannabis, but I don't want @Chefdean to end up in prison.

Yeah, nicotine is definitely a killer of more than humans. Neonicotinoids used in seed treatments, especially corn, has impacted honey bee populations basically wherever corn is planted using treated seed. I believe the EU has already banned neonicotinoid seed treatments. Thanks for giving me a new word, elaineo...protocarnivorous. I had to look it up! Would make a great spelling-bee word!!!

Pot seeds...I can see Chef: "No, Agent Smith. I had no idea what they were! Honest!!!! I had no idea why suddenly all these tweakers were wandering around in my yard muttering "heeyyy dude"...and then ya'll showed up. Here, can I bribe you with some D. regia seeds?".....and ChefDean forevermore was known as "The Seedman of Trousdale"!!!!

Nicotine has also been used as an insecticide. A poisonous “tea” can even be brewed from discarded cigarette butts for that purpose.

@Intheswamp, i think you will enjoy this article about "Murderous Plants", aka plants that kill insects without eating them. Speaking of tweakers, morning glories produce lysergic acid hydroxyethylamide, which is a naturally occurring form of lysergic acid diethylamide. Kids often refer to this substance as L.S.D. Yeah, that's what @ChefDean was pushing. The first hit is free, amirite?

Seriously though, is there a rule that Seed Bank submissions have to eat what they kill? if not, the possibilities are endless
