Al starts with ... Anybody have any experience with sprouting these? Mine seem to have rotted at the tip after breaking the soil, even after I got them out of the humidity box I'd set up. Bummer as I only had a few. Rio grande and cambuca have come up okay in identical conditions with sterile seed mix etc. Any ideas?

Don says... Candolleana shouldn't be too hard, just keep in shade and keep a bag over top of pot to keep humidity there. Sometimes I have found town water will not help either as the chemicals tend to leave a residue as it dries and these stick to growing tip and burn it aswell.keep a dish of water under it in the hot weather too. | About the Author Don browns plains 6th December 2015 6:04am #UserID: 9961 Posts: 26 View All Don 's Edible Fruit Trees |

S t a r l i n g says... Nope, haven't tried E. Moseni. Not a huge fan of the genus. They're ok, but I wouldn't preference them over Garcinias for example. I'm fairly unforgiving with fruits though. Yeah I got your message Don, admittedly I'd forgotten all about them. I Don't really trade anymore and I've been having major headaches with my little composite planters side project (4 hours per planter is way too long, I need to cut down my work input to make the exercise worthwhile). I sent the kakadu plums yesterday. | About the Author S t a r l i n g Private 16th December 2015 10:00am #UserID: 12856 Posts: 16 View All S t a r l i n g's Edible Fruit Trees |

Al says... Thanks for responses guys. I've found that a few of the sprouts I thought had rotted off have regrown from lower down the stem, so I have a few coming along okay now. My problem in retrospect was babying them too much - providing a heat source and high humidity - as they've done much better being left outdoors in a shady spot as Don suggested. Because I 'invested' in these seeds from o/s I changed my usual germination style and promptly killed a bunch of them. Oh well, live and learn :) Happy holidays all! | About the Author Al Byron 23rd December 2015 3:15pm #UserID: 1301 Posts: 51 View All Al's Edible Fruit Trees |
