[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 ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Boon Manakitivipart++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

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 ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Boon Manakitivipart++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
