seeds and more search main menu home about bonsai wishlist germination periods post navigation older posts growing pines from seeds next attempt posted on june 15 2015 by akd reply unfortunately my pine tree or rather sapling has died over the winter i did some research and it seems that i did everything wrong that i could do wrong no direct sunlight use pine bark as soil i got eight new seeds on ebay and followed the instructions here well i tried of the eight seeds i could only use two because i smashed the others trying to open their shell oops but the remaining two i put into the fridge for about 10 days and then onto tissue paper and they germinated after about a week i didn t check the calender because i didn t know i was going to write about it and i didn t really believe i would be successful but i was see pine seedlings i couldn t easily get proper pine bark without ordering online and i had to go to a hardware store garden center anyway so i got orchid soil which should come close to the required stuff fingers crossed for the two new pine saplings posted in germination period sowing stone pine leave a reply all loquat seeds have germinated posted on july 10 2014 by akd reply today i discovered that the last loquat seed has germinated that means that 100 of the 20 seeds actually germinated in a period between 30 and 56 days not too bad loquat seedlings i had dumped the three i had germinated in vermiculture but i still have 20 seedlings how s that you might wonder it s because loquat seem to be polyembryonic just like lemons you might be able to see that with the one on the bottom right corner three seedlings grow from one seed there posted in germination period loquat photo tagged germination germination period lemon loquat leave a reply new growth in english oak and almond tree posted on july 4 2014 by akd reply some days ago new buds had developed in my english oak and almond tree seedling i was especially glad about the almond seedling because the leaves had turned quite red due to the amount and heat of the sun on my balcony of both species i only have one so new leaves means they are still going to live english oak almond seedling i ve started with new almond seedlings though they are still in the soaking phase fingers crossed for more little almond trees posted in almond oak photo tagged almond english oak leave a reply new seeds pistachio posted on june 26 2014 by akd reply finally i could convince myself to get some pistachio seeds on ebay one might ask why don t you just buy them at the supermarket easy because those are always roasted and half of them even salted so they won t germinate they were offered as persian pistachios which basically means that they re from iran iran is the largest exporter of pistachios as far as i know so those are not actually mediterranean but pistachios are grown in sicily and that s my excuse so i ordered 10 but actually got 12 which is always nice i read about how to get them to germinate and just followed the instruction soak them in water of room temperature for 16 hours i might have soaked them for 20 hours and the colour of their shell did actually change as you might be able to see in the pictures dried pistachios soaked pistachios as you can see i used an empty ice cream container they are very useful and it gives me yet another reason to buy ice cream after they had soaked i put them in the remaining vermiculite and covered them up i only used five of the seeds so far in case they all germinate they probably won t i won t get too many pistachios in vermiculite closed off box with plant label there s only as much water in the box as the pistachios had on them i also got new plant labels of which i taped one to the box because i have other projects in other ice cream boxes and i will have forgotten which is which after a couple of weeks in the article about pistachio germination i found the information that soaking the seeds in solution of 1 percent potassium nitrate might help the germination rate i want to try that with cheaper seeds first i still have seven pistachio seeds left for later trials posted in germination period photo pistachio tagged germination germination period pistachio recycling vermiculite leave a reply new seeds mulberry medlar sweet cherry posted on june 24 2014 by akd reply time to start some new germinating projects it s cherry season and one of my co workers brought sweet cherries to the office obviously i couldn t resist neither cherries nor their stones so i kept 10 of them and put them into vermiculite for germination i have no idea what conditions they need but i can always get more cherry stones i chose vermiculite because it makes untangling the roots much easier when the time comes if you know think like me until a week ago hold on since when are cherries a mediterranean fruit well since the famous politician lucius licinius lucullus introduced them from modern day turkey from pontus at the south coast of the black sea no he didn t introduce them from modern day because back then in ancient roman times they had no time travel yet no i mean he introduced it from the area that is now turkey then i decided to finally order those medlar seeds i had laid my eyes upon ages ago on ebay especially now that i realized that the seeds i had previously taken for medlar where loquats insteard so i ordered 10 seeds they arrived today and had a little instruction sheet glued to the plastic bag it said that they need stratification surprise surprise so i put them right into the fridge for 2 weeks according to the instruction another fruit from turkey or at least that s were i encountered them first mulberry seeds mulberry seeds in soil the same guy who sells medlar seeds also sells others and to make the shipping costs worth the trouble i also ordered mulberry seeds they are about the size of sesame seeds they also came with an instruction telling me to only cover them slightly with soil which i hope i did posted in medlar mulberry sweet cherry tagged cherry ebay medlar mulberry seeds turkey leave a reply bonsai willow tree posted on june 22 2014 by akd reply last november i cut a twig from a willow tree near my house put it into water and waited for the roots to grow they did after a while and so i planted it and from time to time cut it to make it into a nice bonsai i wouldn t call it a proper bonsai tree yet but i like how it has turned out so far bonsai willow tree i think willow trees are a good way to start into bonsai they grow quickly and they are easy to maintain my five year old avocado tree died by the way and my bought olive tree might be dead too this is the only tree i haven t grown from seeds here s a video of it with a 360 view posted in bonsai video willow tagged avocado bonsai olive tree video willow leave a reply first medlar seeds germinated posted on june 16 2014 by akd reply i went away for the weekend and when i returned four medlar seeds had visibly germinated yeah i had bought fresh medlar loquat fruit a month ago had eaten the pulp and put 17 seeds into ordinary soil and 3 into vermiculite 2 loquat seeds germinating in vermiculite 2 loquat seeds germinated today i checked again and found that two seeds in the vermiculite had germinated as well at least i think they re two because the roots are quite a bit apart also another of the ones in soil had germinated you can see the progress on the site for germination periods ps i just realized that those aren t medlars at all they re loquats the german name mispel is sometimes used for both species sorry posted in germination period loquat medlar tagged germination period loquat medlar vermiculite leave a reply busy bee on the balcony posted on april 27 2014 by akd reply here is a hd video of the bee nesting in my ivar bonsai nursery shelf on the balcony it is now working on the third hole and i have put four more of these metal thingies in where i want to add another shelf later it seems i have to book in early posted in diy environment video tagged bee ikea ivar nesting video leave a reply a bee and me hopefully a peaceful co existence posted on april 27 2014 by akd reply wasp in ivar a bee or wasp i have no idea has started to use my ivar bonsai nursery too it has already filled up the hole at the bottom ooookay as long as we exist peacefully together on my balcony i m fine with that i might wanna use some of those holes later though posted in environment photo tagged bee nesting surprise leave a reply germination period for mandarin pips over posted on april 27 2014 by akd reply on march 5th i had started a new project to determine the germination period for mandarins tangerines i think all the pips came from the same mandarin but i m not sure any more because there wouldn t have been a lot of pulp in that mandarin i had put 16 pips in vermiculite and 6 into ordinary soil i wrote down 6 at the time but now i have 10 seedlings so it seems one seed yielded several seedlings mandarin seedlings it took them between 24 and 50 days to germinate the seeds in vermiculite started germinating after 24 days and the ones in normal soil 33 the leaves look darker than the ones from the lemon trees edit i have re potted the seedlings into single pots and it actually is the case that one seed can yield several seedlings there s plenty of proof 3 seedlings 2 seedlings 3 to 4 seedlings by the count of roots 4 seedlings posted in germination period photo tagged germination period mandarin tangerine vermiculite leave a
