Post Your Seed Project
Hopefully I don’t crash and burn.
I’ve got cotoneaster, pyracantha and crab apple seeds planted.
Here’s to hoping that the next post is good news.
Feel free to post your seed projects here...

Re: Post Your Seed Project
I've got some Japanese maple, trident maple and atlas cedar seeds stratifying at the moment.
First time trying something like this, but collected the seeds for free so nothing to lose.
Good luck with yours
Brett.

Re: Post Your Seed Project
I've got:
trident maple
chinese elm
celtis australis
callitris endlicheri
malus sieboldii
crape myrtle
hakea laurina
larix kaempferi
random banksias
all on the go this year
According to Dennis Vojtila on asymmetry podcast, crab apple seedlings show great genetic variability so should be some fun seeing what pops up Tim

Re: Post Your Seed Project
I have some freshly-germinated leptospermum lanigerum and melaleuca nesophila seedlings on the go, and some recently collected Japanese and trident maple seeds to plant soon. Nothing like a very-long-term project.

Re: Post Your Seed Project
Result of last years crab apples, from about 30 seed I got 8 germinate and survive their first year, not sure why one pot grew better than the other, same soil and conditions. Looking forward to separating late winter to start the journey towards shohin and mame sized trees.

Re: Post Your Seed Project
I was cleaning out my draw the other day and i seem to have a tonne of trident maple, callistemon and drooping sheoak (Allocasuarina verticillata) seeds. I had a lot of success with the drooping sheoak seeds last year so i might start my own thread this year to show how easy it is to grow them from seed.

Couldn't get any cuttings to strike last year despite attempts at different times - These were sooooo easy to do in QLD.
So now its seeds. I've collected a heap and trying a few different approaches to propagating this lovely tree.

The Photons did it!

Re: Post Your Seed Project
Where did you get the sheoak seeds? I have a few JM that sprouted last spring, are you interested in a trade when CBS is back?Keels wrote:I was cleaning out my draw the other day and i seem to have a tonne of trident maple, callistemon and drooping sheoak (Allocasuarina verticillata) seeds.

Re: Post Your Seed Project
Well i can officially rate crabapple as 10/10 possibly the easiest thing i've grown from seed since She-Oak
$10 mini green house, no bottom heat, my standard bonsai mix, left in a part shade position and away she goes.
