Charles cant spell says... Hi Rev mine are stratifying at the moment, lets hope they grow. Assuming your source was the same as mine Amunda Kellett in S.A. I can say that the Sea Buckthorn I got off her germinated early, one month into 3 month strat, its coming up now. If you didn't get her notes: Germination: Seeds/Nuts must be stratified for 90 days in a cool, moist location, then scarified prior to sowing. Recommended planting location is the final growing location of the tree. This tree has a very large and deep reaching tap-root. Only grow in large containers deep containers. | About the Author Charlesstillcantspell1 Perth Innaloo 26th June 2010 1:37am #UserID: 2742 Posts: 411 View All Charlesstillcantspell1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Rev says... cheers yes, same source The only other i know of is recher but he not selling seeds anymore the place i have for it is down south to cold for andean walnuts, perhaps too humid for Persian so far ive planted 2 black, 2 persian, an andean. Andean from Channon markets, others from Daleys ive also imported hickory but they didnt come up. I should try again Pecans thrive in the same area I like pecans, but im keen on having 2 species that are well adapted | About the Author Rev north qld 26th June 2010 3:15am #UserID: 1806 Posts: 359 View All Rev 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Rev says... Given the allelopathy in walnuts, im not sure what pecans are like i agree though, beautiful beautiful trees, esp on a hot day in summer. Ive read that trees vary in susceptibiity to Juglone compounds so ive altered planting patterns to put planst with recorded tolerance closer and plants with susceptibility further away Mulberries for example were listed as tolerant of Juglone heres a short list Susceptible Alnus sp Asparagus Brassica Chestnuts Celtis Apples Lucerne Physalis some prunus Pears Rhubarb Tilia Blueberries European Grapes (V vinifera) tolerant Maples Alliums Asarum asimina triloba Carya Cercis Hazelnuts Hawthorns Saffron Quince Diospyros virginiana Echinacea Gleditsia Jerusalem artichoke Day lilly Hibiscus syriacus Mulberry some prunus Oaks Elderberry Wild rose sp Chickweed Dandelions clover Ulmus rubra Viola american grape (V labrusca) and wild grapes shortened list from Jacke D, Toensmeier E.2005.

Charles cant spell says... inge. Ammunda Kellets trades as "Leaves Of The Yggdrasil" Its Ebay based. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/50-Sea-Buckthorn-Hippophae-rhamnoides-seeds-/130398217888?pt=AU_Plants_Seeds_Bulbs As I said my batch of seeds where 80% plus germination and went early so didnt need the stratification. The larger ones have about 5 small adult leaves now. Also the Sweet Cicerly, Macca and Woad I got off her is also germinating well so it seems like a decent place to buy from at this stage. I got about $120 worth of seeds so truth will tell soon, most have just gone into pots in my poly tunnel.
