In bloom, the tree is almost completely covered with white flowers, putting on a spectacular show in early spring. Individually, the flowers are 1 to 1.5 inches across, with five petals and similar to apple except for having longer pedicels.</div> <div>Asian Pears appear more like apple than European pear and have hard, crisp flesh like fruit when ripe, unlike the melting flesh European pears. Also, Asian pears will ripen on trees like apples, but European pears are subject to core breakdown if allowed to ripen fully on-tree. Chinese Sand Pears should be picked when they reach full size and begin to turn yellow. This also prevents maturation of the stone cells which give Sand Pears their gritty texture. Many growers wrap their pears individually in paper and store at room temperature.</div> <div>Although children may disagree, Chinese Sand Pear are generally considered inedible unless cooked. The fruits are hard and the flesh is grainy, some say "sandy" in texture. They are most useful for making pies, pear butter, preserves, and for canning.</div> <div>Asian Pears were domesticated in China about the same time European Pears were in Europe, 3000 years ago. Pyrus pyrifolia is native to central and southern China and probably the first to be domesticated. Chinese writings dating from 200-1000 BC describe pear propagation and culture. Asian Pears moved from China to Japan, Korea and Taiwan, where they are cultivated commercially today.</div> <div>Other Names: Crunch Pear, Apple Pear, Korean Pear, Japanese Pear, Taiwan Pear, Salad Pear, Nashi</div> <div>Zone: 5 to 9</div> <div>Growth Rate: Fast</div> <div>Plant Type: Deciduous Fruiting Tree</div> <div>Family: Rosaceae</div> <div>Native Range: China and Japan</div> <div>Height: 30 to 40 feet</div> <div>Spread: 20 to 30 feet</div> <div>Shape: Dense broadly pyramidal to rounded.</div> <div>Bloom Time: March-April</div> <div>Bloom Color: White</div> <div>Flower/Fruit: White flowers, 1 to 1.5 inches across with five petals followed by an edible round pome.</div> <div>Sun: Full sun</div> <div>Fall Color: Yellow, Orange, Red</div> <div>Drought Tolerance: Moderate</div> <div>Water: Moderate</div> <div>Maintenance: Medium-High</div> <div>Site Requirements /Soil Tolerances: Pears tolerate heavy, poorly drained soils better than most tree fruits. However, productivity is best on deep, well-drained loams with pH 6-7. Pears have very similar climatic requirements to apples, but are much more prone to fire blight and therefore cannot tolerate humid, wet springs. Pears require 900-1000 chill hours to break dormancy, although many Asian pears have lower chill requirements and can be grown as far south as northern Florida. Pears have similar or slightly lower cold hardiness than apples, tolerating  -10 to -20 F. Pears bloom 1-3 weeks before apple, and are therefore  prone to frost damage in most regions. Pears mature in as little as 90 days or as long as 200 days.</div> <div>Culture: Pears should not be over fertilized as this can lead to fire blight, a severe bacterial disease. Pyrus pyrifolia requires cross-pollination in order to bear fruit</div> <div>Uses: Group or specimen. Small shade tree. May be used as a street tree. A very good choice for colder climates and very ornamental. May be espaliered or Bonsai.</div> <div>  <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" width="100%" valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Sowing Instructions</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Propagation:</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Seeds / Cuttings</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Pretreat:</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>soak in water for 24  hours</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Stratification:</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>3 months in moist sowing mix at 2-5 ° C refrigerator</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Sowing Time:</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>all year round</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Sowing Depth:</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>1 cm</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Sowing Mix:</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Coir or sowing mix + sand or perlite</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Germination temperature:</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>20+ ° C</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Location:</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>bright + keep constantly moist not wet</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Germination Time:</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>until it germinates </em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Watering:</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Water regularly during the growing season</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em> </em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><br /><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Copyright © 2012 Seeds Gallery - Saatgut Galerie - Galerija semena. All Rights Reserved.</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </body> </html>

<h2 class=""><strong>Purple Apple Berry Seeds (Billardiera longiflora)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 3 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>The Purple Apple Berry, also known as the Mountain Blue Berry, is a small vine native to the cool, moist forests of Australia. The wonderfully shiny, edible purple fruit start off white; becoming fully ripe in early winter after the greenish-yellow tubular trumpet-flowers are pollinated. The fruits are best harvested in late summer, before becoming over ripened.</p> <p>Tasting similar to apples, hence the name, these unusual plants are wonderful eaten raw or even fried and spiced. Ideally grown along trellis, or allowed to climb other plants, the purple apple berry is a hardy (withstanding temperatures as low as -5°C / 23°F), sun loving plant that appreciates being sheltered from high winds. Accustomed to moist, well drained soil, the Billardiera Longiflora is a Royal Horticultural Society Garden Merit Award Winner.<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;"></span></p> <p><strong style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Sowing Instructions:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Sow in trays or pots on the surface of a mix of two-thirds peat based compost, eg. Levington and one third sand, and just cover the seed with a sprinkling of sieved compost or vermiculite.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Place in a propagator or seal inside a polythene bag and maintain an optimum temperature of 15-18C . </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Germination should take place in 30-60 days .</span></p> <p><strong style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">PROPAGATION-SMOKE TREATMENT</strong></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Smoke treatment is absolutely essential for some Australian native plants and greatly improves germination in others. Simply put, the chemicals in smoke 'break' the seed's dormancy which is the first stage of germination - no smoke, no germination!</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">There are several methods of smoke treatment short of lighting a bushfire in your backyard. The simplest method is to sow the seed and cover them with smoke impregnated vermiculite as part of the sowing process. When you water, the chemicals are slowly leached out of the vermiculite and bathe the seed in smoke chemicals.</span></p> <p><strong style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Growing Instructions:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm pots. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Over-winter at a temperature of about 5C. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Harden off and plant out when all risk of frost has passed in full sun or semi-shade. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Will be ok outside in mild areas but protect in cold areas with fleece or by maintaining in a container and over-wintering in a frost free place</span></p><script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>

Grafting and other modern tree management technologies are used to further improve and sustain cashew nut yields in commercial orchards.</p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Nutrition">Nutrition</span></h2> <table class="infobox nowrap"><caption>Cashews, raw</caption> <tbody> <tr> <th colspan="2">Nutritional value per 100 g (3.5 oz)</th> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Energy</th> <td>553 kcal (2,310 kJ)</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row"> <div><b>Carbohydrates</b></div> </th> <td> <div>30.19 g</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Starch</th> <td>23.49 g</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Sugars <div>lactose</div> </th> <td>5.91 g <div>0.00 g</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Dietary fiber</th> <td>3.3 g</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row"> <div><b>Fat</b></div> </th> <td> <div>43.85 g</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Saturated</th> <td>7.783 g</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Monounsaturated</th> <td>23.797 g</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Polyunsaturated</th> <td>7.845 g</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row"> <div><b>Protein</b></div> </th> <td> <div>18.22 g</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row"><b>Vitamins</b></th> <td><b>Quantity</b><span><abbr title="Percentage of Daily Value"><b>%DV</b></abbr><sup>†</sup></span></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Vitamin A</th> <td>0 IU</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Thiamine<span> </span><span>(B1)</span></th> <td> <div>37%</div> 0.423 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Riboflavin<span> </span><span>(B2)</span></th> <td> <div>5%</div> 0.058 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Niacin<span> </span><span>(B3)</span></th> <td> <div>7%</div> 1.062 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Pantothenic acid<span> </span><span>(B5)</span></th> <td> <div>17%</div> 0.86 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Vitamin B<span>6</span></th> <td> <div>32%</div> 0.417 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Folate<span> </span><span>(B9)</span></th> <td> <div>6%</div> 25 μg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Vitamin B<span>12</span></th> <td> <div>0%</div> 0 μg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Vitamin C</th> <td> <div>1%</div> 0.5 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Vitamin D</th> <td> <div>0%</div> 0 μg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Vitamin E</th> <td> <div>6%</div> 0.90 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Vitamin K</th> <td> <div>32%</div> 34.1 μg</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row"><b>Minerals</b></th> <td><b>Quantity</b><span><abbr title="Percentage of Daily Value"><b>%DV</b></abbr><sup>†</sup></span></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Calcium</th> <td> <div>4%</div> 37 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Copper</th> <td> <div>110%</div> 2.2 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Iron</th> <td> <div>51%</div> 6.68 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Magnesium</th> <td> <div>82%</div> 292 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Manganese</th> <td> <div>79%</div> 1.66 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Phosphorus</th> <td> <div>85%</div> 593 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Potassium</th> <td> <div>14%</div> 660 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Selenium</th> <td> <div>28%</div> 19.9 μg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Sodium</th> <td> <div>1%</div> 12 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Zinc</th> <td> <div>61%</div> 5.78 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row"><b>Other constituents</b></th> <td><b>Quantity</b></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Water</th> <td>5.20 g</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /> <div class="wrap">Link to USDA Database entry</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <div class="plainlist"> <ul> <li>Units</li> <li>μg =<span> </span>micrograms • mg =<span> </span>milligrams</li> <li>IU =<span> </span>International units</li> </ul> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="wrap"><sup>†</sup>Percentages are roughly approximated using<span> </span>US recommendations<span> </span>for adults.<span> </span><br /><span class="nowrap"><span>Source: USDA Nutrient Database</span></span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>In a 100-gram serving, raw cashews provide 553<span> </span>Calories, 67% of the<span> </span>Daily Value<span> </span>(DV) in total fats, 36% DV of<span> </span>protein, 13% DV of<span> </span>dietary fiber<span> </span>and 11% DV of<span> </span>carbohydrates(table).<sup id="cite_ref-USDA_19-0" class="reference">[19]</sup><span> </span>Cashews are rich sources (&gt;

<h2 class=""><strong>Chilean guava Seeds (Ugni molinae)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 2 or 5 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>Ugni molinae, commonly known as Chilean guava, or strawberry myrtle, is a shrub native to Chile and adjacent regions of southern Argentina. The Mapuche Native American name is "Uñi". It is in the same botanical family as the Guava. The fruit is sometimes marketed as "Ugniberry", as "New Zealand cranberry" in New Zealand, and the name "Tazziberry" has been trademarked in Australia, but it is not a native plant to these countries.</p> <p><strong>Description</strong></p> <p>The Ugni is a shrub from 30 cm to 170 cm tall with evergreen foliage. In some exceptional cases the shrub can grow up to 3 m in height. The leaves are opposite, oval, 1–2 cm long and 1-1.5 cm broad, entire, glossy dark green, with a spicy scent if crushed. The flowers are drooping, 1 cm diameter with four or five white or pale pink petals and numerous short stamens; the fruit is a small red, white or purple berry 1 cm diameter. In its natural habitat; the Valdivian temperate rain forests the fruit matures in autumn from March to May.</p> <p>It was first described by Juan Ignacio Molina (hence its name) in 1782. It was introduced to England in 1844 by the botanist and plant collector William Lobb, where it became a favorite fruit of Queen Victoria. It is also grown as an ornamental plant.</p> <p>The fruit is cultivated to a small extent. The usage of the fruit in cuisine is limited to southern Chile where it grows. It is used to make the traditional liqueur Murtado that is made of aguardiente and sugar flavored by conserving murtas inside the bottle. It is also used to make jam and the Murta con membrillo</p> <h3><strong>Cultivation   </strong></h3> <p>Ugni molinae is grown for its glossy evergreen foliage, (tolerant of close clipping), and for the profusion of small blooms, produced even on young plants. With shelter from cold winds, it will tolerate temperatures to -10ºC. Grow in full sun in a moderately fertile, well-drained soil enriched with leafmould or other well-composted organic matter. In pots, use a freely draining, medium-fertility, loam-based mix, water moderately when in growth, reducing as light levels and temperatures fall to keep just moist in winter at a minimum temperature of 5ºC. Repot every other year in early spring. Prune in spring to maintain size and shape and to remove frosted growth. Propagate by semi-ripe nodal cuttings in summer rooted in sand in a closed shaded frame or in a closed case with bottom heat. Also by basal cuttings of the current year’s growth taken in late autumn and rooted in a shaded frost-free frame, or by simple layering.</p> <script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>

<h2><strong>Common guava, Yellow guava, Lemon guava Seeds (Psidium guajava)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;">Price for Package of 5 or 10 seeds.</span></h2> <p>Widely planted and naturalized in its native tropical America and in many other warm regions of the world, this tender evergreen shrub or small tree is prized for its delicious yellow-skinned, pink- or yellow-fleshed fruits, which are wonderful fresh and in preserves and juices. Ripening from fall into winter, the fragrant, round to pear-shaped, apple-sized, seedy fruits are preceded in early summer by mildly fragrant white flowers that have a boss of central stamens. Plants are self-fruitful, requiring no companion plants for fruit set. Attractive ribbed elliptic leaves are copper-tinged upon emergence. The flaking copper-colored bark adds further all-season interest.</p> <p>This warmth-loving plant prefers ample sun and well-drained acidic to alkaline soil. It needs warm but not overly hot summers – give it partial shade if necessary to protect it from excessive heat. Use it in tropical gardens or in a warm humid greenhouse. It is considered a noxious exotic weed in Hawaii and other areas. (SOURCE: learn2grow.com)</p> <p>The guava seems indiscriminate as to soil, doing equally well on heavy clay, marl, light sand, gravel bars near streams, or on limestone; and tolerating a pH range from 4.5 to 9.4. It is somewhat salt-resistant. Good drainage is recommended but guavas are seen growing spontaneously on land with a high water table–too wet for most other fruit trees.</p> <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" valign="top" width="100%"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Sowing Instructions</strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Propagation:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">Seeds</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Pretreat:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">soak in water for 24&nbsp; hours</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Stratification:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">0</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Sowing Time:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">all year round</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Sowing Depth:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">0.5 cm</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Sowing Mix:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">Coir or sowing mix + sand or perlite</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Germination temperature:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">25 ° C +</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Location:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">bright + keep constantly moist not wet</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Germination Time:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">1-3 months</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Watering:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">Water regularly during the growing season</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><br><span style="color: #008000;"><em>Copyright © 2012 Seeds Gallery - Saatgut Galerie - Galerija semena.&nbsp;</em><em>All Rights Reserved.</em><em></em></span></p> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><em>&nbsp;</em></span></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table><script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>

<h2><strong>Nipplefruit Seeds - Cow's udder (Solanum mammosum)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 10 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p><em><strong>Solanum mammosum</strong></em> is commonly known as <strong>nipplefruit</strong>,<sup>[1]</sup> <strong>fox head</strong>,<sup>[2]</sup> <strong>cow's udder</strong>, or <strong>apple of Sodom</strong>, is an inedible Pan-American tropical fruit.<sup>[3]</sup> The plant is grown for ornamental purposes, in part because of the distal end of the fruit's resemblance to a human breast, while the proximal end looks like a cow's udder. It is an annual in the family Solanaceae, and part of the genus <em>Solanum</em>, making the plant a relative of the eggplant, tomato, and potato. This poisonous fruit is native to South America, but has been naturalized in Southern Mexico, Greater Antilles, Central America, and the Caribbean. The plant adapts well to most soils, but thrives in moist, loamy soil.</p> <div> <div><img alt="Nipplefruit Seeds - Cow's udder (Solanum mammosum)" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/be/Solanum_mammosum1.jpg/220px-Solanum_mammosum1.jpg" width="220" height="165" style="border-width:1px;" title="Nipplefruit Seeds - Cow's udder (Solanum mammosum)" /><div> <div></div> Solanum Mammosum flower and stem</div> </div> </div> <p>The plant has thin simple leaves occurring in alternating branching patterns with prominent venation.

<h2><strong>Skunkbush Sumac Seeds (rhus trilobata) </strong><strong>Exotic Fruit<br /></strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 5 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>A low deciduous shrub that offers attractive flowers in spring and bright fruits and foliage in fall, skunkbush sumac is native to western North America. In mid-spring before the leaves emerge, conspicuous clusters of pale yellow flowers appear at the stem tips. Small berries follow, ripening red in late summer. Resembling poison ivy foliage, the downy three-lobed leaves are mildly glossy and medium to dark green. The leaflets have blunt-toothed edges. Bruised leaves release a malodorous scent. In autumn, the foliage turns fiery colors. </p> <p>Skunkbush sumac does best in full sun and moderately moist soil, with the brightest autumn color produced under such conditions. In drier soil plants are smaller. Use this extremely hardy shrub as a loose low screen at the edge of a woodland or building, or to clothe a bank or other erosion-prone site. Plants may sucker and form a thicket in some conditions.</p> <p>Genus: Rhus  </p> <p>Species: trilobata</p> <p>Common Name: Skunkbush Sumac</p> <p>Other Name: Schamltzia trilobata, Rhus Canadensis var. Trilobata, Quailbush</p> <p>Pre-treatment: required</p> <p>Zone Hardiness Cold: 4</p> <p>Zone Hardiness warm: 7</p> <p>Plant Type: Small Shrub</p> <p>Height / Width: 1-2m/2-3m</p> <p>Growth rate: medium</p> <p>Vegetation type: decidious</p> <p>Leaf /Flower color: green/yellow-green</p> <p>Light</p> <p>Conditions : Light Conditions </p> <p>Unless a site is completely exposed, light conditions will change during the day and even during the year. The northern and eastern sides of a house receive the least amount of light, with the northern exsposure being the shadiest. The western and southern sides of a house receive the most light and are conidered the hottest exposures due to intense afternoon sun.</p> <p>You will notice that sun and shade patterns change during the day. The western side of a house may even be shady due to shadows cast by large trees or a structure from an adjacent property. If you have just bought a new home or just beginning to garden in your older home, take time to map sun and shade throughout the day. You will get a more accurate feel for your site's true light conditions.</p> <p>Conditions : Full to Partial Sun </p> <p>Full sunlight is needed for many plants to assume their full potential. Many of these plants will do fine with a little less sunlight, although they may not flower as heavily or their foliage as vibrant. Areas on the southern and western sides of buildings usually are the sunniest. The only exception is when houses or buildings are so close together, shadows are cast from neighboring properties. Full sun usually means 6 or more hours of direct unobstructed sunlight on a sunny day. Partial sun receives less than 6 hours of sun, but more than 3 hours. Plants able to take full sun in some climates may only be able to tolerate part sun in other climates. Know the culture of the plant before you buy and plant it!</p> <p>Watering</p> <p>Conditions : Moist and Well Drained </p> <p>Moist and well drained means exactly what it sounds like. Soil is moist without being soggy because the texture of the soil allows excess moisture to drain away. Most plants like about 1 inch of water per week. Amending your soil with compost will help improve texture and water holding or draining capacity. A 3 inch layer of mulch will help to maintain soil moisture and studies have shown that mulched plants grow faster than non-mulched plants.</p> <p>Planting</p> <p>How-to : Planting Shrubs </p> <p>Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and deep enough to plant at the same level the shrub was in the container. If soil is poor, dig hole even wider and fill with a mixture half original soil and half compost or soil amendment.</p> <p>Carefully remove shrub from container and gently separate roots. Position in center of hole, best side facing forward. Fill in with original soil or an amended mixture if needed as described above. For larger shrubs, build a water well. Finish by mulching and watering well.</p> <p>If the plant is balled-and-burlapped, remove fasteners and fold back the top of natural burlap, tucking it down into hole, after you've positioned shrub. Make sure that all burlap is buried so that it won't wick water away from rootball during hot, dry periods. If synthetic burlap, remove if possible. If not possible, cut away or make slits to allow for roots to develop into the new soil. For larger shrubs, build a water well. Finish by mulching and watering well.</p> <p>If shrub is bare-root, look for a discoloration somewhere near the base; this mark is likely where the soil line was. If soil is too sandy or too clayey, add organic matter. This will help with both drainage and water holding capacity. Fill soil, firming just enough to support shrub. Finish by mulching and watering well.</p> <p>Problems</p> <p>Diseases : Verticillium or Fusarium Wilt </p> <p>Wilts may be contracted through infected seed, plant debris, or soil. This fungus begins and multiplies during the cool, moist season, becoming obvious when weather turns warm and dry. Plants wilt because the fungus damages their water conducting mechanisms. Overfertilization can worsen this problem. Able to overwinter in soil for many years, it is also carried and harbored in common weeds.</p> <p>Prevention and Control: If possible, select resistant varieties. Keep nitrogen-heavy fertilizers to a minimum as well as over-irrigating as they encourage lush growth. Practice crop rotation and prune out or better yet remove infected plants.</p> <p>Fungi : Powdery Mildew </p> <p>Powdery Mildew is usually found on plants that do not have enough air circulation or adequate light. Problems are worse where nights are cool and days are warm and humid. The powdery white or gray fungus is usually found on the upper surface of leaves or fruit. Leaves will often turn yellow or brown, curl up, and drop off. New foliage emerges crinkled and distorted. Fruit will be dwarfed and often drops early.</p> <p>Prevention and Control: Plant resistant varieties and space plants properly so they receive adequate light and air circulation. Always water from below, keeping water off the foliage. This is paramount for roses. Go easy on the nitrogen fertilizer. Apply fungicides according to label directions before problem becomes severe and follow directions exactly, not missing any required treatments. Sanitation is a must - clean up and remove all leaves, flowers, or debris in the fall and destroy.</p> <p>Pest : Caterpillars </p> <p>Caterpillars are the immature form of moths and butterflies. They are voracious feeders attacking a wide variety of plants. They can be highly destructive and are characterized as leaf feeders, stem borers, leaf rollers, cutworms and tent-formers.</p> <p>Prevention and Control: keep weeds down, scout individual plants and remove caterpillars, apply labeled insecticides such as soaps and oils, take advantage of natural enemies such as parasitic wasps in the garden and use Bacillus thuringiensis (biological warfare) for some caterpillar species.</p> <p>Fungi : Leaf Spots </p> <p>Leaf spots are caused by fungi or bacteria. Brown or black spots and patches may be either ragged or circular, with a water soaked or yellow-edged appearance. Insects, rain, dirty garden tools, or even people can help its spread.</p> <p>Prevention and Control: Remove infected leaves when the plant is dry. Leaves that collect around the base of the plant should be raked up and disposed of. Avoid overhead irrigation if possible; water should be directed at soil level. For fungal leaf spots, use a recommended fungicide according to label directions.</p> <p>Pest : Scale Insects </p> <p>Scales are insects, related to mealybugs, that can be a problem on a wide variety of plants - indoor and outdoor. Young scales crawl until they find a good feeding site. The adult females then lose their legs and remain on a spot protected by its hard shell layer. They appear as bumps, often on the lower sides of leaves. They have piercing mouth parts that suck the sap out of plant tissue. Scales can weaken a plant leading to yellow foliage and leaf drop. They also produce a sweet substance called honeydew (coveted by ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface fungal growth called sooty mold.</p> <p>Prevention and Control: Once established they are hard to control. Isolate infested plants away from those that are not infested. Cosnult your local garden center professional or Cooperative Extension office in your county for a legal recommendation regarding their control. Encourage natural enemies such as parasitic wasps in the garden.</p> <p>Miscellaneous</p> <p>Conditions : Deer Tolerant </p> <p>There are no plants that are 100% deer resistant, but many that are deer tolerant. There are plants that deer prefer over others. You will find that what deer will or will not eat varies in different parts of the country. A lot of it has to do with how hungry they are. Most deer will sample everything at least once, decide if they like it or not and return if favorable. A fence is the good deer barrier. You may go for a really tall one (7 to 8 feet), or try 2 parallel fences, (4 to 5 feet apart). Use a wire mesh fence rather than board, since deer are capable of wiggling through a 12 inch space.</p> <p>Conditions : Pollution Tolerant </p> <p>Air pollution is becoming a bigger problem each day. Pollutants in our air damage plants. The plants are damaged by absorbing sulfur dioxide, ozone, peroxyacetyl nitrate, ethylene, and nitrogen dioxide through their pores. Cell membrane damage may result in leaf drop, blotched or burnt looking leaves, or off-colored tissue between veins. Vehicles and industrial processes are the key culprits and conditions worsen on hot summer days. Though planting only pollution tolerant plants is not the solution to this problem, it is a visual bandaid. Your Cooperative Extension Service may have a list of plants that are more pollution tolerant in your area. </p> <p>Conditions : Rabbit Tolerant </p> <p>As cute as they are, rabbits can really damage a vegetable garden. Young, tender lettuce plants seem to be their favorite. If a free-roaming dog is not a possiblility for you, consider installing raised vegetable beds and covering tender shoots with netting. If you have ample room, you can opt to plant enough for you and the bunnies. Scents don't always repel animals, as they get used to them and are often washed off in the rain. </p> <p>Conditions : Slope Tolerant </p> <p>Slope tolerant plants are those that have a fibrous root system and are often plants that prefer good soil drainage. These plants assist in erosion control by stabilizing/holding the soil on slopes intact. </p> <p>Conditions : Wind Tolerant </p> <p>Plants that are wind tolerant usually have flexible, strong branches that are not brittle. Wind tolerant plants often have thick or waxy leaves that control moisture loss from whipping winds. Native plants are often the best adapted to not only wind, but also soil and other climatic conditions. </p> <p>Conditions : Fall Color </p> <p>Fall color is the result of trees or shrubs changing colors according to complex chemical formulas present in their leaves. Depending on how much iron, magnesium, phosphorus, or sodium is in the plant, and the acidity of the chemicals in the leaves, leaves might turn amber, gold, red, orange or just fade from green to brown. Scarlet oaks, red maples and sumacs, for instance, have a slightly acidic sap, which causes the leaves to turn bright red. The leaves of some varieties of ash, growing in areas where limestone is present, will turn a regal purplish-blue.</p> <p>Although many people believe that cooler temperatures are responsible for the color change, the weather has nothing to do with it at all. As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, a chemical clock inside the trees starts up, releasing a hormone which restricts the flow of sap to each leaf. As fall progresses, the sap flow slows and chlorophyll, the chemical that gives the leaves their green color in the spring and summer, disappears. The residual sap becomes more concentrated as it dries, creating the colors of fall. </p> <p>Glossary : Deciduous </p> <p>Deciduous refers to those plants that lose their leaves or needles at the end of the growing season.</p> <p>Glossary : Shrub </p> <p>Shrub: is a deciduous or evergreen woody perennial that has multiple branches that form near its base. </p> <p>Glossary : Heat Zone </p> <p>The 12 zones of the AHS Heat Zone map indicate the average number of days each year that a given region experiences ""heat days"" or temperatures over 86 degrees F(30 degrees Celsius). That is the point at which plants begin suffering physiological damage from heat. The zones range from Zone 1 (less than one heat day) to Zone 12 (more than 210 heat days). The AHS Heat Zone, which deals with heat tolerance, should not be confused with the USDA Hardiness Zone system which deals with cold tolerance. For example: Seattle, Washington has a USDA Hardiness Zone of 8, the same as Charleston, South Carolina; however Seattle's Heat Zone is 2 where Charleston's Heat Zone is 11. What this says is that winter temperature in the two cities may be similar, but because Charleston has significantly warmer weather for a longer period of time, plant selection based on heat tolerance is a factor to consider. </p> <p>Glossary : Plant Characteristics </p> <p>Plant characteristics define the plant, enabling a search that finds specific types of plants such as bulbs, trees, shrubs, grass, perennials, etc. </p> <p>Glossary : Medium Shrub </p> <p>A medium shrub is generally between 3 and 6 feet tall. </p> <p>Glossary : Flower Characteristics </p> <p>Flower characteristics can vary greatly and may help you decide on a ""look or feel"" for your garden. If you're looking for fragrance or large, showy flowers, click these boxes and possibilities that fit your cultural conditions will be shown. If you have no preference, leave boxes unchecked to return a greater number of possibilities. </p> <p>Glossary : Foliage Characteristics </p> <p>By searching foliage characteristics, you will have the opportunity to look for foliage with distinguishable features such as variegated leaves, aromatic foliage, or unusual texture, color or shape. This field will be most helpful to you if you are looking for accent plants. If you have no preference, leave this field blank to return a larger selection of plants. </p> <div> </div> <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" valign="top" width="100%"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Sowing Instructions</strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Propagation:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">Seeds</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Pretreat:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">pour over with hot water + Soak about 24 hrs</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Stratification:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">0</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Sowing Time:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">all year round</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Sowing Depth:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">Just lightly cover with substrate</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Sowing Mix:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">Coir or sowing mix + sand or perlite</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Germination temperature:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">min. 20 ° C</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Location:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">bright + keep constantly moist not wet</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Germination Time:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">until it germinates </span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Watering:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">Water regularly during the growing season</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong> </strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><br /><span style="color: #008000;"><em>Copyright © 2012 Seeds Gallery - Saatgut Galerie - Galerija semena. </em><em>All Rights Reserved.</em><em></em></span></p> <div><span style="color: #008000;"><em> </em></span></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

<h2><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;" class=""><strong>Kumquats or cumquats Seeds - exotic tropical fruit</strong></span></h2> <h3><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Price for Package of 5 seeds.</strong></span></h3> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Kumquats or cumquats are a group of small fruit-bearing trees in the flowering plant family Rutaceae, either forming the genus Fortunella, or placed within Citrus sensulato. The edible fruit closely resembles that of the orange (Citrus sinensis), but it is much smaller and ovular, being approximately the size and shape of an olive. The English name "kumquat" derives from the Cantonese pronunciation gam1 gwat1 (given in Jyutping romanization).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">They are slow-growing evergreen shrubs or short trees, from 2.5 to 4.5 meters (8 to 15 ft) tall, with dense branches, sometimes bearing small thorns. The leaves are dark glossy green, and the flowers white, similar to other citrus flowers, borne singly or clustered in the leaf-axils. Depending on size, the kumquat tree can produce hundreds or even thousands of fruits each year.[1] The tree can be hydrophytic, with the fruit often found floating on water near shore during the ripe season.[citation needed]</span></p> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The plant is native to south Asia and the Asia-Pacific region. The earliest historical reference to kumquats appears in literature of China in the 12th century. They have long been cultivated in Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, and southeast Asia. They were introduced to Europe in 1846 by Robert Fortune, collector for the London Horticultural Society, and shortly thereafter into North America.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Classification</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Carl Peter Thunberg originally classified the kumquats as Citrus japonica in his 1784 book Flora Japonica. In 1915, Walter T. Swingle reclassified them in a segregate genus, Fortunella, named in honor of Robert Fortune. Seven species of Fortunella have generally been recognized—F. japonica, F. margarita, F. crassifolia, F. hindsii, F. obovataand F. polyandra, as well as the recently described F. bawangica . The Flora of China returns the kumquat to Citrus and combines the species into the single species as Citrus japonica.[2]</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Varieties :</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Round kumquat</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The round kumquat (also Marumi kumquat or Morgani kumquat) is an evergreen tree, producing edible golden-yellow colored fruit. The fruit is small and usually round but can be oval shaped. The peel has a sweet flavor but the fruit has a sour center. The fruit can be eaten cooked but is mainly used to make marmalade and jelly. It is grown as an ornamental plant and can be used in bonsai. This plant symbolizes good luck in China and other Asian countries, where it is sometimes given as a gift during the Lunar New Year. It's more commonly cultivated than most other kumquats as it is cold tolerant. It can be kept as a houseplant.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">When the kumquats are divided into multiple species the name Fortunella japonica (Citrus japonica) is retained by this group.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Oval kumquat</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Fortunella margarita, also known as the oval kumquat or the Nagami kumquat, is a close relative to Citrus species. It is a small evergreen tree, that can reach more than 12 ft (4 m) high and 9 ft (3 m) large. It is native to southeastern Asia, and more precisely to China. The oval kumquat has very fragrant citrus-like white flowers, and small edible oval orange fruits. The oval kumquat is an ornamental little tree, with showy foliage, flowers and fruits. It is also fairly frost-hardy, and will withstand negative temperatures such as 14 °F (-10 °C), and even a little lower for very brief periods. It can be grown in USDA hardiness zones 9 and warmer, but can also be tried in sheltered places, in USDA hardiness zone 8. Unlike most citrus species, the oval kumquat has a shorter growth period, and goes into dormancy fairly earlier in autumn. This partly explains its better frost hardiness.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Characteristics</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The evergreen leaves of oval kumquats are deep-green and relatively small. They can reach up to 3 in (7 cm) long and 1.5 in (3.5 cm) wide. The white flowers of the oval kumquat are similar to the citrus flowers. They are strongly perfumed, and they appear relatively late in the growing season, generally late spring.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The oval kumquat is a fruit that looks like any citrus fruit, with an orange rind. The fruits are oblong, up to 2 in (5 cm) long. Unlike the common citrus, which have a rind which is inedible raw, oval kumquats have an edible sweet rind. The flesh, however, is not as sweet as the rind, and the juice is quite acidic and sour, with a lemon-like flavor. This fruit is generally eaten fresh, with its rind. It can also be processed into preserves, jams, and other products.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Cultivation</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The oval kumquat needs a well-drained and fertile ground. It dislikes alkaline soils. The oval kumquat is susceptible to common citrus pests and diseases.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Jiangsu kumquat</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The Jiangsu kumquat or Fukushu kumquat bears edible fruit that can be eaten raw. The fruit can be made into jelly and marmalade. The fruit can be round or bell shaped; it is bright orange when fully ripe. It may also be distinguished from other kumquats by its round leaves that make this species unique within the genus. It is grown for its edible fruit and as an ornamental plant. It cannot withstand frost.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">When the kumquats are divided into multiple species the name Fortunella obovata (Citrus obovata) is used for this group.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Cultivation and uses</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Kumquats are cultivated in China, South Korea, North Korea, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Japan, the Middle East, Europe (notably Corfu, Greece), southern Pakistan, and the southern United States (notably Florida, Louisiana, Alabama) and California.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">They are much hardier than other citrus plants such as oranges. The 'Nagami' kumquat requires a hot summer, ranging from 25 °C to 38 °C (77 °F to 100 °F), but can withstand frost down to about −10 °C (14 °F) without injury. They grow in the tea hills of Hunan, China, where the climate is too cold for other citrus fruits, even the Mikan (also known as the Satsuma) orange. The trees differ also from other citrus species in that they enter into a period of winter dormancy so profound that they will remain in it through several weeks of subsequent warm weather without putting out new shoots or blossoms. Despite their ability to survive low temperatures, kumquat trees grow better and produce larger and sweeter fruits in warmer regions.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Uses</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Kumquats are often eaten raw. As the rind is sweet and the juicy center is sour, the raw fruit is usually consumed either whole—to savor the contrast—or only the rind is eaten. The fruit is considered ripe when it reaches a yellowish-orange stage and has just shed the last tint of green.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Culinary uses include candying and kumquat preserves, marmalade, and jelly. Kumquats can also be sliced and added to salads. In recent years kumquats have gained popularity as a garnish for cocktail beverages, including the martini as a replacement for the more familiar olive. A kumquat liqueur mixes the fruit with vodka or other clear spirit. Kumquats are also being used by chefs to create a niche for their desserts and are common in European countries.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The Cantonese often preserve kumquats in salt or sugar. A batch of the fruit is buried in dry salt inside a glass jar. Over time, all the juice from the fruit is diffused into the salt. The fruit in the jar becomes shrunken, wrinkled, and dark brown in color, and the salt combines with the juice to become a dark brown brine. A few salted kumquats with a few teaspoons of the brine/juice may be mixed with hot water to make a remedy for sore throats.[citation needed] A jar of such preserved kumquats can last several years and still keep its flavor.[citation needed]</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In the Philippines and Taiwan, kumquats are a popular addition to green tea and black tea, either hot or iced.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In Vietnam, kumquat bonsai trees (round kumquat plant) are used as a decoration for the Tết (Lunar New Year) holiday. Kumquat fruits are also boiled or dried to make a candied snack called mứt quất.</span></div> <div> <div> <div> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" width="100%" valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Sowing Instructions</strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Propagation:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;">Seeds</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Pretreat:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;">0</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Stratification:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;">0</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Sowing Time:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; all year round &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Sowing Depth:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;">0.5-1 cm</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Sowing Mix:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;">Coir or sowing mix + sand or perlite</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Germination temperature:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;">min. 20° C.</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Location:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;">bright + keep constantly moist not wet</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Germination Time:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;">Until it Germinates 7days - 2 Months</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Watering:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;">Water regularly during the growing season</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><br><span style="color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;">Seeds Gallery 05.11.2012.</span></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </div> </div>
