Re: 869 Calai '2000
I just got my second 869 Calai to spout. I tried something different.
Because it is a larger seed, I keep the paper towel damp, not wet and
applied less heat. I think when a seed is large, too much moisture will
rot it and too much heat will bake it.........a large seed has potential to
absorb more water and heat which can be detrimental to its germination.
Bill Sadowski, have 846 Calai, 869, 798 Calai, 828 Wyckoff, and a LaRue916
ready to go.
