I'm 5/5 GPF's Cuban No Grit sugar apple seeds. I just used a metal file (like $3 from the hardware store) to scrape the ends a bit, soaked them in water overnight and then stuck them in some soil and placed the pot on my screened porch. It's been about a month and all five seedlings are a few inches tall.
I germinated black walnut easy just moist potting mix. Might be as easy but can't say, good luck! Oscar at fruitlovers might have some insight
Make some "mosquito bits" tea and water with it, it'll get rid of your fungus gnat issue 100%! Your set up looks great! Itll be cool to see what happens with the grafted mangosteen indoors.
How deep you get by removing the layers? Until you see the embryo?Any idea how to remove the shell?
I use vise grips to get it started then the rest pull off by fingers (hurt fingers though)
The fibers kind of run longways across the seed and you can sort of peel it as you would a banana.
Most of the ones I've decorticated have a little tab kind of thing that makes it easier to get it started.
Any idea how to remove the shell?
How long does imbe take to fruit from seed? I have like five seedlings and they aren't exactly vigorous.
personally, any sizeable ones went to our repository so I don't know the growth rate off the top of my head. but i recently sold my last imbe seedling. well over a year (granted, I'm not the best when it comes to growing out b/c i punish them with full sun outside). but man this 10" seedling had beautiful root system as almost as long as the seedling itself!
His done well expanding the awareness of rare fruit!
I don’t agree with some of his fruit ratings and descriptions but hey that’s pretty much life!! Haha
For some fruit he’s been the only one with a taste description.
All the fruit on youtube, is a bit more accurate with description IMOE and does show trees and growing conditions on another level.
Peace!
