Fruit tree seed germination using ziplock bags

Since the 27th July 2015 I have been germinating fruit tree seeds using a new method I discovered on Youtube. Basically, you remove the seed coating from the washed seed of a lemon, lime, orange, mandarin, pear, etc and place the seed/s on a damp paper towel, fold the towel over, then seal it all in a ziplock bag. You then put the bag in a container with a lid and place in a warm spot.

Not having a warm spot in my place in winter I decided to put my container on top of my modem for my internet from time to time. I have Mandarins, Lemons, Pears, and one Yellow Pawpaw that have germinated to date. Basically every seed I germinated this way has germinated or in the process of germinating.

These seeds below were the beginning of my Mandarin seeds germinating.

All the Mandarin seeds have germinated but the weather has been too cold for any real progress for the seeds to sprout above the surface yet. The only seed that has sprouted above the surface is a lone Pear tree seed pictured below.

The Pear tree is so tiny with it's 5 little leaves but it is growing roots fast and has made more leaf growth in the last few days. I will soon need to repot it.

Today I checked all my remaining seeds, and had to pot up 1 Yellow Pawpaw, 2 Pears, 2 Mandarins, and 2 Lemons. Finally all my lemon and mandarin seeds have germinated.

Below is a picture I took today of 2 of the Pear seeds that had germinated, and I was quite surprised at how big they were.

I have a total of:
1 x Yellow Pawpaw seedlings
2 x Lemon seedlings
3 x Pear seedlings
7 x Mandarin seedlings

That's going to be a lot of fruit from 13 trees. I already have a home for all of these seedlings that I am not keeping. I have more pear and pawpaw seeds trying to germinate but with the warmer weather on the way I'm sure they will germinate very soon.

I am also trying to germinate fig seeds and star fruit seeds but both just don't seem to want to germinate. I didn't try to germinate these particular seeds the same way as the ones in the ziplock bags.
