Alnus rubra
"Janet Baraclough" wrote in message ... The message from Sacha contains these words: Our local branch of Morrisons, in Totnes, has some Alders planted in the car park and one, in particular, has enormously long catkins - every year I promise myself that I'll try to get some seeds from it and this year I really must kick myself to remember to do it! If you do, you will need to inoculate the seed-tray with soil taken from beneath an alder around its roots. Alder seeds will only germinate in soil which contains the right bio-whatsits. I'm hoping David P can supply the right explanation :-) Janet. ~~~~~~~~ This inoculant is only really necessary in boggy conditions. Normal seed compost suffices otherwise for germination and growth. The symbiotic fungus [miccorhiza] would help in difficult situations. Best Wishes Brian. |
