[IBC] Ginko seed

Hi,

Could anyone tell me when would it be the best time to plant some Ginko Biloba seeds? As a matter of fact I planted them some time ago (I guess it was by february or march of this year), but nothing happened and I just recovered them about a week ago.

Also and as I read -in some place that I cannot remember-, I put them in water and they floated, so, I asume they are still useful, am I correct? colud you give me any idea on what shall I do?

As usual let me thank you all in advance for your advice.

Have a nice day,
Roberto

Roberto,

Last November or December I found a few ginko fruit at a park in a nearby
town. I stored the seeds in a baggie along with a dampened paper towel
(which was replaced if it started getting moldy) in the refrigerator. Once
it was "springtime" I pulled the bag out of the refrigerator and basically
let it sit on a counter, after a few days one seed cracked and a taproot
appeared. I planted it in a small container, and I have a happy little tree
at this time from that. A few weeks after the original, another one
followed suit. I had 2 out of 6 nuts germinate and grow.

Could anyone tell me when would it be the best time to plant some Ginko
Biloba seeds? As a matter of fact I planted them some time ago (I guess it
was by february or march of this year), but nothing happened and I just
recovered them about a week ago.

I would guess your seeds probably rotted, but I am not sure. You can
carefully crack the shell and see if there is healthy nutmeat inside. I am
not sure, but the rule of thumb for a lot of seeds is that viable ones sink.

Also and as I read -in some place that I cannot remember-, I put them in
water and they floated, so, I asume they are still useful, am I correct?
colud you give me any idea on what shall I do?

Sam and Marty,

First of all, let me thank you for your reply and well, I guess I need to pay more attention while I read. I guess I shall get some other seeds or even better, a Ginko Tree, unfortunately, here in Mexico it is not easy to find one, but I am sure that I am going to find one. So, I guess I have some "nuts" to play with. Once again, thank you and I will be around.

"Saludos",
Roberto
