Re: Gaultheria procumbens germination/ Al

Hello Al,
    See where Marge fixed you up with germination information. Will be very
surprised if seeds produce a decent sized plant as quick as a decent
division will. You should be able to snip off decent divisions with roots
from a crowded pot, repot into acidic medium and fertilize. They are not
difficult to divide. Next year you should have decent starts to play with.
Have fun on the trials, though.
