recs for where to buy strawberry plants?
Comments (14)I bought some "Alexandra" and "Pineapple Crush" seeds from thestrawberrystore.com last year and had good results. I put 3 to 4 seeds per cell in one of those 36 cell trays and only had a couple cells without viable transplants. They did take a long time to germinate and get to a point where they were "transplantable" but they did make it, and most have survived the winter just fine (still green). They also came true to seed from what I can tell... the pineapple crush fruits were white and the alexandra fruits were red....See MoreWhere can I find a pic of a sprouting strawberry?
Comments (8)Hello people.........this person planted strawberry roots, not tiny seedlings. They should come ripping up in spring, and they won't look like tiny seedlings. When did you set out the crowns? If you planted them dormant this spring yes, you should have long ago seen signs of life. If planted last fall, your berry season is already over. When foliage comes from the crown of tubers it doesn't get a tiny little leaf. Normal size leaves erupt. Sprinkling strawberry seeds outside on the ground isn't very successfuly either. They're even a little iffy sown in a greenhouse under controlled conditions. Please.......when did you plant them, and how were they purchased and when....See Morewhere to buy japanese maple seedlings and seeds
Comments (4)First, it is important that you understand that named forms of Japanese maples cannot be grown from seed - even though you may collect seeds from a 'Bloodgood', the sprouted seed cannot be considered to be a true Bloodgood, only just a generic Acer palmatum. Named cultivars of Japanese maples are ONLY propagated asexually - by cutting or grafting - never by seed. Anyone who is attempting to sell you "bloodgood seeds" or "crimson queen seeds" is just pulling a fast one. Seeds gathered from these trees and germinated may indeed look like the parent plant but they just as easily might not. In fact they can look totally different as far as leaf color, leaf size, amount of dissection and even growth habit is concerned. So sorry, no such thing as a seed grown 'Bloodgood' or 'Sango Kaku' or 'Beni Maiko', etc. despite what may be advertised. It just is not done. It is possible to purchase grafted seedlings that should be true to name, provided they are being offered by a reputable source. One can also purchase named cultivars of scion wood which can then be grafted by you to other JM rootstock. Not sure about availability of these in EU or the ability to transport from here to UK - it is much easier to import/export seeds than it is live plant material....See MoreWANTED: Strawberry Guava plant or seed
Comments (3)Wow Seamommy, that is the first time I hear that. I grew up in a home with several guava trees (differant varieties) and many people have them in there homes down here and I have never heard that. I can say though that thinking back, the ground around them was pretty bare, but only a couple feet around the plant. They are still in my mother's yard, although she has know passed away and still I don't find seedlings anywhere. I do have seeds to one that is so sweet and delicious and has the shape of a pear. it does not smell bad at all and the fruit only gives off about 3-4 seeds instead of a the usuall thousand. I will have to rethink where I should plant that tree when I do grow it. Thanks for that info. Josie...See Morebarmaleyka
