Dear Lon,
Thank you for your reply from early April. I think I never replied to your
reaction, so please apologize for this.
I am growing only five species of Ribes (for the time being). I do possess a
lot of cultivars and my main interest is in Ribes uva-crispa/grossularia.
Till today I found that only about 30% of the seed are germinating after a
winter of stratification. So I would like to increase this rate as I am
experimenting with hybridizing gooseberry cultivars and every seed has its
potential...
Any good suggestion on obtaining seed from Ribes species is also welcome.
Thanks and regards
Marc Geens (Belgium).
