Gibberellic Acid (forum)

Phil@Tyalgum starts with ...
Reasonably priced Gibberellic Acid. $23.00 including postage from the US. Might give it a try on the Bayberry seeds which have yet to germinate.

I planted a bunch of ilama seeds from several varieties weeks ago and there is no action at all.I dug them up and replanted them.I now read germination advice that suggests a month in the fridge as well as gibberellic acid treatment.

I managed to get the ackee seedlings through the southern winter here Mike which I'm pleased about, also hog plum, and some of the others you were kind enough to send. Rice paddy herb is thriving and the pepper vine has new growth. The ilama looks interesting, haven't seen that one before.

Hey Mike,
I managed to get most of your ultra's through winter as well. One Ackee is growing strongly out of three originally. One Matisia out of two that germinated only just survived, we'll keep a close eye on that one.
Two Maprang's come through fairly unscathed.
All the Achacha's planted over the last 2 years have never missed a beat either, from purchased fruit. Some are going out into the scary unknown climate-wise garden shortly.
All the Rollinia seedlings are growing strongly as is all the star apple seedlings and yellow grumis.
The only disappointment was the Burnmese grapes, they slowly all died off one by one.
I had a fairly mild winter this year with no real surprise cold snaps. Everything is really taking off now.

John it is good to hear that some have pulled through and it is trial and error I suppose.Your neck of the woods would be good for some of the rare Eugenias like cherry of rio grande,E.candolleana,E.neonitida and some of the others that are cold hardy.
If the achacha(uiru)is alright I bet lemon drops,Garcinia brasiliensis and madrono would also be ok.
The dry season is still on here and temps have ramped up so it isn't vegie time.

The Rio Grande does exceptionally well here, apparently they take 5+ years to flower, I've got a couple of years to wait.
The Madrono and G. brasiliensis are doing very nicely after three years, I'm not game to put them outside just yet, they'll need some age and size first.
Both Soursops are slow, but they are into their third year outside.

No they sent it in a plastic sachet. 10g worth which I will probably need to store in an alternative container anyway.
