Ricardos seeds are fine.This is a difficult species.I received platonias from 5 sources in the last year and only had one germinate.
Dear Mike , for your information , P. insignis needs cross pollination in order to fruit .....so 1 tree won't do .
Luc and Alexandre Neles: Thanks for ruining my day
Seriously, thanks for the info on PInsignis...I have two 3-year old PInsignis at about 3 ft height and I was so excited they were doing well outdoors in Miami, only to learn that they need crosspollination and take over 9 years to fruit...
ANeles: I've heard they are usually grafted in BR; is this correct/easy? Maybe this is an option for me if I can get some scions. How tall are your 9-year old trees? I saw a video a while back and I think they had some 9ft tall trees fruiting, but I don't know their age.
Luc: I imagine the more trees you have the better for cross-pollination, but do you think a couple of trees may suffice, I don't know how crosspollination/flowering works in this species. Also, maybe grafting scions of different trees on one seedling could work like crosspollination (?)..
