Linton says... Hi Sue Bee Do you mean you are looking for the berries or seeds or plants? If you want to grow them then it is easiest to buy seeds and more rewarding in my opinion to watch them hatch. Established plants are more difficult to track down from a nursery. The Lingonberry is Vaccinium Vitis-idaea and I bought some seeds from this seller a little while back: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vaccinium-Vitis-Idaea-Mountain-Cranberry-x-Fresh-Seed-/381107470439?var=&hash=item58bbc68067:m:mHWGeixCwLshrnvxomIrIIw Highly recommend you to try growing them from seeds, it's a fun way to go! | About the Author Linton NOBLE PARK,3174,VIC 6th December 2016 4:08pm #UserID: 2286 Posts: 994 View All Linton's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... Have not had any success with obtaining viable Lingonberry seeds. The seeds I bought before never germinated. More recently ordered some from a reputable overseas supplier but they were rejected by customs on arrival. It's hard to import anything now and meet the strict criteria that has been introduced. However I have just ordered some more seeds from a different local seller to give them another go. Hope they will work this time! | About the Author Linton NOBLE PARK,3174,VIC 12th December 2020 9:31am #UserID: 2286 Posts: 994 View All Linton's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... The Lingon seeds that I bought locally have not germinated either but they are being kept in the fridge in case they need longer cold stratification so I haven't given up entirely. In the mean time I spoke to the aqis people regarding importing these seeds. While they are a permitted species, they told me that these seeds need to be pretreated with a sodium hypochlorite solution in a registered facility. The customs person went on to say that for hobby gardeners it would be best to form a buying group to make a group order so that the seed treatment costs could be shared. Yours cordially.....L. | About the Author Linton NOBLE PARK,3174,VIC 9th June 2021 9:50am #UserID: 2286 Posts: 994 View All Linton's Edible Fruit Trees |
Edward3 says... I imported a small sachet of seeds from the US in 2014 and sowed them in a pot without cold stratification. They took about 3 months to germinate. I planted them out in Katoomba and they grew well but have not produced any flowers so far. They are small plants, less than 10cm tall, so weeding around hem is important to avoid competition from grasses. | About the Author Edward3 CARLINGFORD,2118,NSW 23rd June 2021 1:31pm #UserID: 1655 Posts: 172 View All Edward3's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... Thanks for your helpful details about growing these seeds. I think Lingon Berries are to die for so I really want to grow them. Based on your information I will plant them right away as they have already been in the fridge for a couple of months and hope they will germinate. Your plant looks great and you are very, very, very lucky to be growing them so well. Please remember me if they produce some fruit and subsequent seeds. Cheers! | About the Author Linton NOBLE PARK,3174,VIC 28th June 2021 7:54pm #UserID: 2286 Posts: 994 View All Linton's Edible Fruit Trees |
