<h2><strong>Japanese Persimmon Seeds (Diospyros kaki)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 5 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>Japanese Persimmon is a deciduous fruiting tree with a rounded spreading crown that grows 20 to 30 feet tall. This tree is noted not only for its edible fruits but also for its excellent ornamental features. Oval to obovate leaves to 6 inches long emerge yellowish green in spring, mature to glossy green in summer and turning an attractive gold to red in fall. Trees are usually dioecious (separate male and female trees), but some trees have both male and female flowers. Notwithstanding the flower types, trees are parthenocarpic (may set seedless fruit without pollination). Fragrant, non showy flowers bloom in late spring, with the creamy white female flowers appearing solitary and the pink toned male flowers appearing in clusters of three. Edible Persimmon fruits to 4 inches in diameter mature in late fall, and may persist on the tree into winter. The tree is a sight to behold when leaves have fallen in autumn, displaying the bright yellow orange fruits throughout the canopy. Japanese Persimmon is native to Japan and mainland Asia where they have been cultivated for centuries. They were brought to the southern United States in the 1870’s.</p> <p>Fruits may be harvested when the skins reach deep orange. Fruits can be eaten fresh or dried (hoshigaki) and are commonly used in syrups, jellies, ice creams, cakes or pies. Persimmon leaves can be used to make teas.</p> <div>Other Names: Japanese Persimmon, Kaki Persimmon, Oriental Persimmon</div> <div>Zone: 7 to 10 (Can stand winter temperatures as low as 0ºF)</div> <div>Growth Rate: Slow to Medium</div> <div>Plant Type: Deciduous Fruiting Tree</div> <div>Family: Ebenaceae</div> <div>Native Range: China, Japan</div> <div>Height: 20 to 30 feet</div> <div>Spread: 20 to 30 feet</div> <div>Shape: Round; upright</div> <div>Bloom Time: May - June  </div> <div>Bloom Color: Creamy white (female) Pink (male)</div> <div>Sun: Full Sun</div> <div>Fall Color: Orange, red, yellow</div> <div>Drought Tolerance: Moderate</div> <div>Water: Medium</div> <div>Maintenance: Low</div> <div>Site Requirements/ Soil Tolerances: Typically grown in deep, moist, slightly acidic, well-drained loams in full sun. Somewhat wide range of soil tolerance, but prefers moist, sandy soils. Kaki Persimmons are drought tolerant.</div> <div>Culture: Promptly remove root suckers unless naturalized effect is desired. Once established, they need minimal care and require little or no pruning. Fertilize three times a year as you would for other fruiting trees.</div> <div>Uses: May be pruned as a hedge, screen. Oriental persimmons make attractive shade trees with the added bonus of delicious fruit. They can be espaliered or used as specimen trees in mixed plantings, where their colorful fall foliage and fruits will be emphasized against an evergreen backdrop.</div> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="1"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" width="100%" valign="top"> <p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Sowing Instructions</strong></span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Propagation:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color:#008000;">Seeds</span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Pretreat:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color:#008000;">about 24 hours soak in warm water</span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Stratification:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color:#008000;">about 2-3 months in a moist substrate at 2-5 ° C refrigerator</span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Sowing Time:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color:#008000;">all year round</span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Sowing Depth:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color:#008000;">1 cm</span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Sowing Mix:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color:#008000;">Coir or sowing mix + sand or perlite</span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Germination temperature:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color:#008000;">about 22-25 ° C.</span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Location:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color:#008000;">bright + keep constantly moist not wet</span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Germination Time:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color:#008000;">until it germinates </span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Watering:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color:#008000;">Water regularly during the growing season</span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong> </strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><br /><span style="color:#008000;"><em>Copyright © 2012 Seeds Gallery - Saatgut Galerie - Galerija semena. </em><em>All Rights Reserved.</em><em></em></span></p> <div></div> </td> </tr></tbody></table>

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> </head> <body> <h2>Asian Pear Seeds - Chinese Sand Pear (Pyrus pyrifolia)</h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;">Price for Package of 5 seeds.</span></h2> <div>Hardy, Showy Spring Flowers, Edible Fruits, Fall Color, Fast Growth, Shade Tree, Specimen Tree, Adaptable, Cold Tolerant, Espalier</div> <div>The Chinese Sand Pear is larger than most kinds of pear trees, reaching as high as 40 feet, with a rounded crown that may spread 20 feet or more across. In bloom, the tree is almost completely covered with white flowers, putting on a spectacular show in early spring. Individually, the flowers are 1 to 1.5 inches across, with five petals and similar to apple except for having longer pedicels.</div> <div>Asian Pears appear more like apple than European pear and have hard, crisp flesh like fruit when ripe, unlike the melting flesh European pears. Also, Asian pears will ripen on trees like apples, but European pears are subject to core breakdown if allowed to ripen fully on-tree. Chinese Sand Pears should be picked when they reach full size and begin to turn yellow. This also prevents maturation of the stone cells which give Sand Pears their gritty texture. Many growers wrap their pears individually in paper and store at room temperature.</div> <div>Although children may disagree, Chinese Sand Pear are generally considered inedible unless cooked. The fruits are hard and the flesh is grainy, some say "sandy" in texture. They are most useful for making pies, pear butter, preserves, and for canning.</div> <div>Asian Pears were domesticated in China about the same time European Pears were in Europe, 3000 years ago. Pyrus pyrifolia is native to central and southern China and probably the first to be domesticated. Chinese writings dating from 200-1000 BC describe pear propagation and culture. Asian Pears moved from China to Japan, Korea and Taiwan, where they are cultivated commercially today.</div> <div>Other Names: Crunch Pear, Apple Pear, Korean Pear, Japanese Pear, Taiwan Pear, Salad Pear, Nashi</div> <div>Zone: 5 to 9</div> <div>Growth Rate: Fast</div> <div>Plant Type: Deciduous Fruiting Tree</div> <div>Family: Rosaceae</div> <div>Native Range: China and Japan</div> <div>Height: 30 to 40 feet</div> <div>Spread: 20 to 30 feet</div> <div>Shape: Dense broadly pyramidal to rounded.</div> <div>Bloom Time: March-April</div> <div>Bloom Color: White</div> <div>Flower/Fruit: White flowers, 1 to 1.5 inches across with five petals followed by an edible round pome.</div> <div>Sun: Full sun</div> <div>Fall Color: Yellow, Orange, Red</div> <div>Drought Tolerance: Moderate</div> <div>Water: Moderate</div> <div>Maintenance: Medium-High</div> <div>Site Requirements /Soil Tolerances: Pears tolerate heavy, poorly drained soils better than most tree fruits. However, productivity is best on deep, well-drained loams with pH 6-7. Pears have very similar climatic requirements to apples, but are much more prone to fire blight and therefore cannot tolerate humid, wet springs. Pears require 900-1000 chill hours to break dormancy, although many Asian pears have lower chill requirements and can be grown as far south as northern Florida. Pears have similar or slightly lower cold hardiness than apples, tolerating  -10 to -20 F. Pears bloom 1-3 weeks before apple, and are therefore  prone to frost damage in most regions. Pears mature in as little as 90 days or as long as 200 days.</div> <div>Culture: Pears should not be over fertilized as this can lead to fire blight, a severe bacterial disease. Pyrus pyrifolia requires cross-pollination in order to bear fruit</div> <div>Uses: Group or specimen. Small shade tree. May be used as a street tree. A very good choice for colder climates and very ornamental. May be espaliered or Bonsai.</div> <div>  <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" width="100%" valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Sowing Instructions</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Propagation:</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Seeds / Cuttings</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Pretreat:</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>soak in water for 24  hours</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Stratification:</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>3 months in moist sowing mix at 2-5 ° C refrigerator</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Sowing Time:</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>all year round</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Sowing Depth:</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>1 cm</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Sowing Mix:</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Coir or sowing mix + sand or perlite</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Germination temperature:</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>20+ ° C</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Location:</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>bright + keep constantly moist not wet</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Germination Time:</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>until it germinates </em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Watering:</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Water regularly during the growing season</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em> </em></span></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><br /><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Copyright © 2012 Seeds Gallery - Saatgut Galerie - Galerija semena. All Rights Reserved.</em></span></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </body> </html>

<h2><strong>Purple Apple Berry Seeds (Billardiera longiflora)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 3 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>The Purple Apple Berry, also known as the Mountain Blue Berry, is a small vine native to the cool, moist forests of Australia. The wonderfully shiny, edible purple fruit start off white; becoming fully ripe in early winter after the greenish-yellow tubular trumpet-flowers are pollinated. The fruits are best harvested in late summer, before becoming over ripened.</p> <p class="">Tasting similar to apples, hence the name, these unusual plants are wonderful eaten raw or even fried and spiced. Ideally grown along trellis, or allowed to climb other plants, the purple apple berry is a hardy (withstanding temperatures as low as -5°C / 23°F), sun loving plant that appreciates being sheltered from high winds. Accustomed to moist, well drained soil, the Billardiera Longiflora is a Royal Horticultural Society Garden Merit Award Winner.<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;"></span></p> <p><strong style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Sowing Instructions:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Sow in trays or pots on the surface of a mix of two-thirds peat based compost, eg. Levington and one third sand, and just cover the seed with a sprinkling of sieved compost or vermiculite.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Place in a propagator or seal inside a polythene bag and maintain an optimum temperature of 15-18C . </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Germination should take place in 30-60 days .</span></p> <p><strong style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">PROPAGATION-SMOKE TREATMENT</strong></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Smoke treatment is absolutely essential for some Australian native plants and greatly improves germination in others. Simply put, the chemicals in smoke 'break' the seed's dormancy which is the first stage of germination - no smoke, no germination!</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">There are several methods of smoke treatment short of lighting a bushfire in your backyard. The simplest method is to sow the seed and cover them with smoke impregnated vermiculite as part of the sowing process. When you water, the chemicals are slowly leached out of the vermiculite and bathe the seed in smoke chemicals.</span></p> <p><strong style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Growing Instructions:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm pots. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Over-winter at a temperature of about 5C. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Harden off and plant out when all risk of frost has passed in full sun or semi-shade. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Will be ok outside in mild areas but protect in cold areas with fleece or by maintaining in a container and over-wintering in a frost free place</span></p><script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>

These can take anywhere from 8 weeks to 4 months to germinate.</div> <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" valign="top" width="100%"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Sowing Instructions</strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Propagation:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">Seeds / Cuttings</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Pretreat:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">Pour hot water over the seeds and left them in water 24 hours.</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Stratification:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">0</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Sowing Time:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">all year round</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Sowing Depth:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">1 cm</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Sowing Mix:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">Coir or sowing mix + sand or perlite</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Germination temperature:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">28-30 ° C</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Location:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">bright + keep constantly moist not wet</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Germination Time:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">1-6 Monts</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Watering:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">Water regularly during the growing season</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><br><span style="color: #008000;"><em>Copyright © 2012 Seeds Gallery - Saatgut Galerie - Galerija semena.&nbsp;</em><em>All Rights Reserved.</em><em></em></span></p> <div><span style="color: #008000;"><em> </em></span></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table><script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>

<h2 class=""><strong>Chilean guava Seeds (Ugni molinae)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 5 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>Ugni molinae, commonly known as Chilean guava, or strawberry myrtle, is a shrub native to Chile and adjacent regions of southern Argentina. The Mapuche Native American name is "Uñi". It is in the same botanical family as the Guava. The fruit is sometimes marketed as "Ugniberry", as "New Zealand cranberry" in New Zealand, and the name "Tazziberry" has been trademarked in Australia, but it is not a native plant to these countries.</p> <p><strong>Description</strong></p> <p>The Ugni is a shrub from 30 cm to 170 cm tall with evergreen foliage. In some exceptional cases the shrub can grow up to 3 m in height. The leaves are opposite, oval, 1–2 cm long and 1-1.5 cm broad, entire, glossy dark green, with a spicy scent if crushed. The flowers are drooping, 1 cm diameter with four or five white or pale pink petals and numerous short stamens; the fruit is a small red, white or purple berry 1 cm diameter. In its natural habitat; the Valdivian temperate rain forests the fruit matures in autumn from March to May.</p> <p>It was first described by Juan Ignacio Molina (hence its name) in 1782. It was introduced to England in 1844 by the botanist and plant collector William Lobb, where it became a favorite fruit of Queen Victoria. It is also grown as an ornamental plant.</p> <p>The fruit is cultivated to a small extent. The usage of the fruit in cuisine is limited to southern Chile where it grows. It is used to make the traditional liqueur Murtado that is made of aguardiente and sugar flavored by conserving murtas inside the bottle. It is also used to make jam and the Murta con membrillo</p> <h3><strong>Cultivation   </strong></h3> <p>Ugni molinae is grown for its glossy evergreen foliage, (tolerant of close clipping), and for the profusion of small blooms, produced even on young plants. With shelter from cold winds, it will tolerate temperatures to -10ºC. Grow in full sun in a moderately fertile, well-drained soil enriched with leafmould or other well-composted organic matter. In pots, use a freely draining, medium-fertility, loam-based mix, water moderately when in growth, reducing as light levels and temperatures fall to keep just moist in winter at a minimum temperature of 5ºC. Repot every other year in early spring. Prune in spring to maintain size and shape and to remove frosted growth. Propagate by semi-ripe nodal cuttings in summer rooted in sand in a closed shaded frame or in a closed case with bottom heat. Also by basal cuttings of the current year’s growth taken in late autumn and rooted in a shaded frost-free frame, or by simple layering.</p> <script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>
