Jdiaz31089 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 I was wondering if anybody else might find use in a forum in which we can compile seed germination data under species-specific entries (similar to how it is compiled in the freeze-damage forum). I figure that a lot of us grow palms from seed, and it would be helpful to have a place where we can find first-hand data about seed viability, germination rates, germination times, stratification, etc. Thoughts? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinzyjr Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Not a bad idea at all.

PALM MOD Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 If there is enough interest, I will float the idea to the PT Committee. 1 Quote Thanks to those of you who help make this a fun and friendly forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Adair Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Right now I just use the Search option on each species (or a book), but if more folks were encouraged to post their results in an organized fashion, it could be useful. 1 Quote Cindy Adair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doranakandawatta Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 It would bring us also to seeds availability and how we can trust those who sell the seeds, maybe we shouldn't start with this question.... 1 Quote Philippe Jungle Paradise in Sri Lanka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, Palm Mod, And it's quite difficult to make a negative comment (If one really has to) about one of the most famous vendor of seeds. One may never get the seeds he ordered. I's why I wrote:maybe we shouldn't start wit this question .... Quote Philippe Jungle Paradise in Sri Lanka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silas_Sancona Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 100% in favor for such a sub-forum also.. both for palms and other than palms.. perhaps call it " Seed Germination data and results forum", or something like that. Funny that I'm currently processing a ton of harvested Echinocereus fruit/ seed, and some other stuff atm while giving my ''S up to such an idea.
