Re: HYB:Pod parents (care and feeding)

I have seen other post that they have had success with broken off stalks. I have had only one that I got seeds that germinated and it was almost mature, still had white seeds. Most of the ones I saved rotted on me.

Don't raccoons wash their food before they eat it. I would think squirrels could think it was a nut. I have found a few cut off with teeth marks on them. Of course I blame squirrels for everything. I cover my seed pots with wire to keep the squirrels out. Since they can not get to them maybe they go to the bathroom on them so they won't germinate.

Mike, what is the age of this pod?
