I'll keep you updated (Butia Experiment)
I have some Butia Capitata seeds that I got and I have been soaking them
I have cracked some and taken the 2-3 seeds from each. I have both soaking right now. I'll keep you updated on wether or not cracking them quickens them or not.

Re: Seed rot
Thats what I hear from another guy.Barrie wrote:I'd imagine seed rot would be more prevalant when cracking the outer shell.
I have a new method that I am going to try. Using this method, I have not had ANY seeds rot or any mold using this method. So I am going to try it on these cracked seeds. If it doesn't work, then I am not out too much since I can get more seeds.
I'll let you know of the method if it works.

Any updates. I have about 10 Butia Capitata seeds that have been soaking in water for 3 days on top of a refrigerator. I want to pot them up in a few days. I am going to crack a few seeds open today and see what happens.
