I've been waiting for Luc's Garcinia seeds for better than two months, so I feel your pain! I chose the Miami station thinking that my presence in Miami would help expedite matters, but this seems far from the case! Potentially losing the cost of this quantity of seeds is a tough pill to swallow, especially considering the fact that sent without the proper channels they could have been here a month ago!

I bought 5 chempedak seeds, all of them sprouted and after putting out 4 leaves all of them died!! Does any one know for what reason??

Thanks guys. I'm looking forward to those photos luc. I've sent the seller a message, mentioning that I've asked some jaboticaba growers, and she responded by asking me to send her picture's of you guys' seeds. If anyone other than luc has some photos, I would be very thankful if you could post them here. Thanks again for your help.

Girdling with wire is a pretty old method. Taking to recalcitrant trees with a cricket or baseball ball, tyre iron or pipe is also old and popular. Withholding water until a specific level of stress is experienced is also widely practiced. If a tree or branch 'thinks' it will or is dying it has only one shot at immortality.

I don't recommend anyone hitting their trees, driving nails, or running over their tree with their tractor. Girdling with a wire, making a cut, or witholding water can be very precisely controlled methods. These other brute methods cannot be precisely controlled and are very likely to cause permanent damage or even kill the tree. Ihe idea is to stress the tree just the right amount, not to torture or mame the tree.
