Still have seeds available. last call before I plant them all!

I'd buy 2 packs but $10 to ship 10 seeds is a bit too much. I hope it's just a website calculation error.

All seeds I've planted have germinated. Planted back in the super heat and rain Aug/Sept

(moist vermiculite in a Ziploc bag)

achetadomestica · « **Reply #7 on:** October 23, 2017, 08:58:11 PM »

2 out of 7 between damp paper towels

so far

Tustinfruitnerd · « **Reply #8 on:** October 24, 2017, 03:20:54 AM »

I got 2 of 6 so far. I think one or two were black at the pointed end, maybe insect damage?

palologrower · « **Reply #9 on:** October 24, 2017, 06:17:18 AM »

4 of 6 sprouted

scashaggy · « **Reply #10 on:** October 24, 2017, 07:10:19 PM »

I've had 4 sprout.

gozp · « **Reply #11 on:** October 24, 2017, 07:21:20 PM »

None of mine sprouted.

Will be waiting scions.

AnnonaMangoLord45 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 24, 2017, 07:49:47 PM »

I had only 1 sprout

nullzero · « **Reply #13 on:** October 24, 2017, 11:59:54 PM »

Sorry to hear you guys are getting no germination. I got 5 out of 5 to germinate. Maybe post methods that everyone is using to germinate.

markinnaples · « **Reply #14 on:** October 25, 2017, 12:09:21 AM »

I had 3 seeds eaten by rodents during Irma's aftermath, but I have 1 which has sprouted and about 2 inches tall, planted in a Jiffy peat pellet.

John Travis · « **Reply #15 on:** October 25, 2017, 01:02:20 PM »

I got one of six so far, just planting them in small pots.

I am curious what method you used to get 5 out of 5?

What my dad does with the sugar apple seeds is to test its buoyancy. If the seeds are buoyant, then it won't germinate.

I soak the seeds in R.O. water with a drop or two of nitrozyme added. Seeds are left soaking in small baggy with the water for about 24hr.

I then use a 16oz water bottle and use a coir/peat moss petite seed starting mix. The seeds are planted with a light layer of mix covering.

I make sure the mix is lightly damp. I then add another table spoon or two of water over the seeds. Seal up the container with tape and make a small slit on the cap and slits foe drainage.

Container is placed inside a corner of a grow tent with an LED grow light. Temps range between 76 when lights out and 85 with lights on.

Now you all have me worried mine won't germinate. I'm hoping for the best.

gozp · « **Reply #22 on:** October 27, 2017, 03:57:57 PM »

1 out of 6.

Still waiting for others to sprout.

palmtreeluke · « **Reply #23 on:** October 27, 2017, 06:02:34 PM »

soak seed for 24 hrs with clean water changes every 8 hours. Seeds will float if dry but after soaking should sink. A quick dip in a fungicide wouldn't hurt either before planting. Plant in sterile growing medium. a commercial seed starting mix with peat in perlite works fine.

scashaggy · « **Reply #24 on:** October 28, 2017, 10:45:41 AM »

Here are mine

FlyingFoxFruits · « **Reply #25 on:** October 28, 2017, 11:20:57 AM »

i always squeeze the seeds for before planting, pretty hard too...if they have any give (hollow feeling) they're worthless.

I have also found the float test to be worthless. I do the squeeze test like adam.

I got one of six to germinate. Still waiting for others. Soaked 24 hours then planted in Perlite/peat with bottom heat. I still want to graft a scion to get true to type when they become available in the Spring. (Please hold one for me Luke.)

raimeiken · « **Reply #31 on:** November 30, 2017, 07:35:44 AM »

when will scions be available?

9B in Brazil · « **Reply #32 on:** November 30, 2017, 05:46:22 PM »

Follow-up. The one seedling that sprouted dampened off and died. Still no other seeds have sprouted. This is strange as I have planted many Annonas before and usually get high rates of germination. I have many 1-2 year old seedlings ready to be grafted onto. I hope I can get a scion from you Luke when they become available.

raimeiken · « **Reply #33 on:** January 29, 2018, 03:58:46 PM »

will there be any scions for sale soon?
