Split Dekopon very seedy

[toofarnorth]

I found a split dekopon, cut it open and found 18 seeds.  I dropped a couple.
I did not find a single seed out of a dozen fruits last year.

Wow. Rare to find seeds in dekapon...rare to find that many for sure. I bought a case of dekapon last season and found no, none, nada, zilch, zero seeds in any of them. Plant them and ecpect a surprise in a few years.😁

Better yet. Send half of them to me. That will save you the worry of looking after all of them. 😎

[toofarnorth]

david, the fruit is still very immature and the seeds are green, though some do seem to be full size. If you want them to try, PM your address and I will send them to you.

Thank you TFN. I appreciate your generosity. I will plant them and see what happens.

[toofarnorth]

Glad to help. I hope they are viable. Will put them in the mail tomorrow. Maybe some will have seeds later after they are fully developed and ripe.

[david]

Perhaps so. Thanks. I will give these a good opportunity to germinate and see what happens.

Hi TFN. Planted the Dekapon seed in my propagation chamber. No action as of yet. Some of the seed appear to be full size and have a chance to germinate. I will keep results posted.

Any results yet?

[david]

No germination. Could not get them going. Rare when seed do not germinate in this climate....but no success.

[MarcV]

They were probably not ripe enough then...

[david]

I guess that would be the case if I had to make a guess....sometimes seed are just blanks...but I shall do it again. 😁
