Burkea africana ~ Wild Seringa

Post by Knnn » Sat Aug 16, 2008 11:55 am

This is a medium sized, flat topped tree from Africa.

More info: http://www.plantzafrica.com/veldflora/1 ... ringa1.htm

Not sure about it's hardiness, if I can get some going, I'll find out :D


Seeds,

Dean,

These might be easier than I thought, after a 24 hour soak, they all swelled.
Potted them up, and we'll see what happens!

Moving right along, (these pushed themselves completely out of the soil and had to be re potted)

cool. always freak me out when seedlings do that. I usually just keep throwing soil on top of them. sometimes I have to repot.

These pushed themselves up, and then flopped over :D At this rate, I should have first leaves by the end of the week!
(Think I need a lighter potting mix for this faster growing stuff)
