Galbulimima seed germination

[darcy]

Collected some fruit recently and am having a go at germinating some seeds, will post up some results once i get some in

Well one germination so far. Most seed i have is very thin and was wondering about viability. The one seed that has shot a radicle was about the only nice fat seed from the batch. Time from sowing to germination was ca. 4 weeks.

2 germinations and both are now first true leaf stage, looking good. Will post some pics one day.

Also, we have some leaf material and some bark material going on the shop, this is left over cutting material, very aromatic, some of you scientists/researchers may be interested in sample material.

Here's a seedling, a few months old.

Growing quite well now, about 4 months old.

Just to update here, my seedlings are growing really well here in SE Qld, they actually seem to prefer the cold weather of autumn/winter, not surprising considering where i collected the seed on the Atherton Tableland it was really quite windy and cold every time i went there They always prefer the mountainous areas, probably just die to the temperatures maybe, even in PNG, but i guess it's warmer over there overall. Will get some more pics in shortly.

Propagation is still in trials, nothing really to report yet.
