RE: off topic: Tacca seeds


I have Tacca chantrieri seeds, some haven't ripened yet but I have had good
luck with them fresh from the pod. I've been waiting for them to burst open
before harvesting. I'd be willing to trade for any most Aroid seeds.

Hello Bernhard,

  Thompson and Morgan carries Tacca chantrieri seeds:

  I've obtained seeds from several sources, but I've always had trouble with
germination.  Even in-vitro, the seeds appear to have a low germination rate
and a long dormancy.  I have heard that truly fresh seed ( not dried out )
germinates quite readily, however.
