Eugenia Aggregata seeds

Here is what they looked like prior to soaking and planting:


Some of you may recall that these were sent to me late last June, before I learned that they can take up to a year to sprout. It seems to be more time efficient to just get one at a plant sale, or by mail order.

They're supposed to handle temperatures down to around 25 degrees Farenheit.

I suspect it gets much colder than that in Wisconsin. :)

Wow! Thanks for the tip!

Did you scarify the seeds first, or just plant them "as is"?

didnt scarify..but put the seedling pots in sealed ziplok plastic bags to keep humid environment constant.also successfull with eugenia uniflora and eugenia dombeyi.
