For the Astrocaryum,seeds are also welcome!

Hello,

I have Acrocomia aculeata seeds that have been planted for 2 or 3 months now, and therefore they should be doing something soon. If you want to try some out, I'm happy to send you some. PM me if you are interested.

Thanks, Jude

I actually just pulled 2 seeds to see if I couldn't open one up and see what it was like inside, and I actually wasn't able to - talk about ROCK HARD! I even banged away with a big hammer - didn't make a dent or a crack at all.

I am PM'ing you with information on some other things. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the offer Jude!smilie.gif

Please let me know if you get any extra germinators! I also have a whole lot of Acrocomia vinifera seeds but havent gotten any to germinate in 2-3 years now...I have the spot in the ground ready for all those but still no germinators...sad.gif

About he hardiness of those seeds,i tried to break open an Attalea rostrata seed some time ago with a log. I was dropping the log on the seed over rock...and the seed didnt even get scratches for repeated drops of the log on itlaugh.gif Ended up placing it back in for germination....
