Seedling
Hello, here's my contest entry and first post! Just joined today.
Last fall a friend mailed me cones from various cork bark jbp. They sat in paper bags in a spare bedroom until January, when i started to collect the seeds. Was able to get a lot of seed, but most wasn't viable. 80% easily floated, but i planted all.
Planted in air pruning pots, with 2 parts akadama, 3 parts pumice. Sifted 1/8-1/4.
Soaked, and put in fridge in March for 30 days roughly. Then planted in my greenhouse in beginning of april i believe.
Started low dose fertilizer fairly early, moved up to peters 20/20/20 alternating with a fish kelp mix.
So far quite a bit of variety in growth.
Will keep updated.
