Rob Backyard Gardenerr When my seed came out of the shell it was white and I noticed it split in half and it has a sprout is that normal ?

I just wrapped the seed with the shell in paper towel and put it in a ziplock baggy. left it in the fridge for a few months until it germinated. Now I have a nice little tree starting.

update? we want the rest of the history.

If people were wondering why the seeds look like almonds, it's because almonds and plums (and cherries, apricots and peaches) are all in the same genus Prunus. They're even closer to each other than humans are to chimps

@@plants_before_people5329 all the best to you. I completed my master's last year.

I recently just cracked open 4 plums seeds... 1 broke to pieces after i used a pliers. What works for me was a sharp end tool that I could use to poke into the lips of the seed coat to split it instead of cracking the hull, somewhat like opening oysters. And of the remaining 3, 1 had already rotted. And after germinating, only 1 took root. So its a 25% success rate for me based on my experiment.

Nice video. I suggest though that you plant these in much deeper initial pots. Trees grow a tap root first and need considerable space under them to do that. Most trees from seed don't like transplanting and starting in that little cup is going to mean an extra transfer as they establish. Try large (1 or 2) gallon pots for trees. You'll have better success in keeping what you grow alive longer

Please don't expect to get what came from the store. Commercial trees are grafted on to hardy root stock. If you get a plum at all it will not taste like that perfect juicy gem you bought. But the trees should be pretty ornamental flowering trees.

Very cool Rob. I have tried somethings like this. No success so far, but I have not given up yet. Best wishes Bob.

Hey Rob, I hope you will keep us updated on your plum growing progress. I've got an old Mother Earth News magazine that tells me that all plum, peach, nectarine stones grow "true" to the type of tree that they come from. He says that the "stratification" process is pretty important though. I feel like if your seeds were refrigerated that long, we're golden.The article is "Grow Free Fruit Trees" by Lee Reich in M.E.N. June/July 2008 for reference. I love my M.E.N. magazine. Some issues are worthless but then some come in like this particular issue that full of great articles....BTW you're doing a fantastic job with your garden.

So I'm looking for videos on how to grow various plants for my interest in Japanese cuisine and I find this video. I hear the voice and think "This sounds like Rob from Rob Finds Treasure." It turned out to be so.

Plant with root facing UP at that age! Also chill seeds in fridge for 5 days, when germination begins put in a deeper pot than a cup, depth at 2&a half times the seed size.

Sprinkle cinnamon on them to help prevent mold growth.

Rob plz tell us about planting of apple seeds

Brought some Damson seeds couple of years ago, the instructions said they take 3 years to germinate, (still not germinated lol) , I have removed shells (I wasn’t aware they are in shells) and tried paper towel method.. Hopefully this method works, I love Damson Jam and it’s impossible to find now.

Is there an ideal fridge temperature that will aid in the germination process?

My first one shot across my yard. We'll see if it grows where ever it went.

If you take off the brown layer on the outside of the seed - you will get much better germination, the seed coat inhibits germination.

Did you Scarifying the seeds is so before or after you cracked the shell

Hi Bob, I am living down in Nicaragua, average temperature high 80s Farenheit, is there any possibility these trees are going to give fruit?

I germinated mine by accident once I put it in a pot of soil and it never grew so I put the soil in the pot back in the bag It came from and in a couple weeks I needed some soil and there was a large seedling with a huge root system inside! was very leggy and I feel bad for the poor seedling but I’m getting it back into shape you can tell it’s a plum because you can see the pit on the side

Does the plums has to be really ripe and soft? And do you need to dry the seeds to break the shell? Cause it's hard to break apart the shell when they are fresh.

Stepha Holic I'm working on it since this batch didn't do well. It's best to stratify them for a few months in the fridge first, which I didn't. This is likely why they perished shortly after sprouting. I'm almost at the point where these were so if they make it, I'll do,a second video. It's best to do these in the late fall/early winter - or use the fridge to expedite the process. Thanks!

Peel the skin off the plums for greater germination rate. I've successfully germinated 3 seeds by soaking them for 24 hours to loosen the skin, then I peel it off mainly from the tips of the seed, then put them in a bag 4:34

I didn't break the seeds open or put them in the fridge. I just planted them, Took five months for them to germinate. Same for nectarines and mangos.

So I can do this without stratification?

@RobBackyardGardenerr

8 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching Robert - great name too! 😉 Stratification will obviously increase the germination rate, for sure, so I'd stick with that. In my experiment, it worked without it. I placed the bag in a dark spot above the light fixture where they could draw the heat from the lamp - a heat mat would work too. I planted the germinated seeds into soil too early however, and they perished... In my next attempt, I plan to allow more time for a stronger root and better germination before moving them into soil. Also - I'll start with sterile soil next time as I believe I had a case of some fungus gnats which ate away the young roots. My apple seeds have done well, both the ones from series 1 and series 2 - so I'm super excited about those. I hope this helps and good luck!

i can't get the shell off on the plum seeds, the seed inside breaks or one time my nut cracker broke because of a plum seed's shell

I’ve tried this and it does sprout but then it dies is it because I don’t have enough nutrients in the soil

Will sprinkled cinnamon help against mold?

did you put them at fridge ?

Do you put them somewhere cold

You didn't put them in the fridge did you ? Like once they were put in the ziploc bag?
