Getting Olive Stones to Germinate
Has anyone out there ever managed to get the stones from pickled
olives to sprout? Any tips would be welcome. Even if the success rate is close to zero, surely one will sprout eventually if I were to plant enough stones? Lets face it, there's nothing better than nurturing your own plants from seed. I'm trying to get some pickled stones to germinate at the moment in a sunny, warm outdoor location (no, not britain, but north carolina USA, which gets 80-100F sunny summer days, although with some humidity). I'm hoping that the pickling process (which apparantly involves sodium hydroxide) only softens the seed case without damaging the seed. Perhaps only the stones from fresh olives are worth bothering with? Thanks in advance, Ewald Schroder (ex-pat) |
