Hi,
Can I know where you bought Gevuina Avellana seeds?

I got these from a friend after spending a year searching them.Before that ive ordered a few packs of seeds from USA ( from ebay) and none of those germinated ,so beware if your gonna spend a lot of monney on them.Make sure they are fresh.

I had found somebody willing to ship some seeds but didn't hear from him since a long time.
How big is the nut? Have you tasted any?

Hi,
Can I know where you bought Gevuina Avellana seeds?

Is this supposed to be variegated or I got a lucky seedling?

Yellow and red Muntingia calabura. Seeds from achetadomestica. Fruits were packed in wet vermiculite. At arrival on my place, the pulp, seeds and vermiculite were a somehow slimy mass. This mass was spread evenly on top of seeding trays, filled with peat. The seeding trays were well watered, bagged and put on a warm place with indirect sunlight. After a week, the trays were taken out of the bag and put in full sun, for 4 days. The peat was kept wet and watered twice a day. Thereafter, the trays were taken out of the sun and bagged again. Seeds germinated a few days later.

After taken this picture, I have potted 50 seedlings. For me, that’s more than enough. However, with colder temperatures in autumn and winter, a high mortality may be expected.

Mike, thank you for the seeds. I appreciate very much, your help and your advice.

How long to reach that stage?
Mine from last year never passed 1mm, some are still alive but same height.
The batch from this year slightly better, around 2mm(only a few) in 2 months ....
In case I can't get even this batch to grow, would you sell me a yellow muntingia seedling next year?

Hi Roy, what temperatures have the region where it grows?
Do you think it stands cold better or worse than mangifera indica?

From where do the seeds dispatch?

My pentaphylla and Bulbifera has gone in the ground. The bulbifera is from you Caesar, thanks again!
I noticed mine cannot stand a change of environment, is this common?
If they sprout in one environment then they go into shock if moved to different conditions.
Happened to the african bulbifera and the pentaphylla, they just stay there doing nothing after I moved them
Not a transplant issue as it doesn't do it when changing pot.

I have an old apricot tree that is severely affected by monilia and gummosis.
It doesn't have any effect on the production however, so I never bothered to do anything to it.
This year I tried Serenade Natria which uses Bacillus subtilis, just out of curiousity, and It still have to show any sign of both.

Tons of organic matter and compost.In the long run it should make your soil neutral, but will take years anyway.
And you will likely have only a top layer like that, below will always stay basic.

You should be able to find them in most online nursery with a decent catalog.
It is quite common.

I may still have some seeds under the tree that are viable.  I'll will check asap for you. 
As far as I know you grow this from seed and its true to type.  I know under my tree are lots of small seedlings and i have planted these out in the past and they are just the same.   

How big is the fruit of yours? Can you post a picture?
I have the orange version from Raul but wanted to keep the yellow bumpy too.

10 for me Luc!
