I've already started a full tray, for germination testing and
possible winter grow-out. An F5 red cherry and the F4 large
chocolate cherry. A third plant I'm waiting on fruit. Started the
season with 18 micros, now 13. (I have the seed #'s)
Should have lots of seed saved by the end of the month for the
three best I would like to carry further.
I encourage anyone with a sunny window and a light set-up to
give these a try. No rules. You can start seed any time. Last Fall
I started seed the beginning of November. Beautiful small plants
happy in their 4" potting-up containers for weeks until you find
the time for a small one gallon.
Once Spring and warm days, they exploded on the deck in April,
when my garden seedlings were just wee things.
Pic from last week...lots of fruit on a few small under 12" plants
in one gallon pots.
