Gosh you're doing so well with germinating your seeds. I love to see how they are getting on and look forward to more updates soon.
Wish I had your talent lione. I am useless at germinating tropical seed. Did those seeds need a lot of heat? Thats my problem here no cistern. Well done! I love my Abies Kirana Pine. K
Thanks Kate. It is luck mixed with perseverance with some digging in the net. Here is the progress of the seedling. It really looks helthy, I hope I can take care of it: I have made a second batch of seeds (on 17 May 2016), here is what I did exactly (This is for you kate ): 1- I soaked the seeds (with their hard shell) in water and put them in the fridge (not the freezer!) for 24h. 2- I tried to un-shell them with my hand; very few were relatively easy to open, the other I tried with a cracker but with extreme care as I could crack the nut and ruin it. 3- to test rate of germination, I left few un-shelled. 4- The shelled seeds started to germinate in just 6 days (on 23 May 2016)!. I believe to get the best and fast germination, one should carefully un-shell the seeds. Good luck to all and please post your experiments so that all can benefit.
