Hello - I am a norwegian gardener and fruitgrower rather new to this list,
and maybe I have not introduce myself here - but I don't know it that is
normally done? If so I could do so in a later mail?
Anyway - Rhododendron is maybe one of my favorite plants that I would like
a lot more of in my garden,I have a climate suitable for it, and it would
be very nice to make my own, even do crossing.
- I have a question about seeds and breeding:
1. Can I take seeds now from unopened seedpods left on the plants and sow
them in a warm room now - how warm is best?
2. Do I cover them by sowing?
3. Do they germinate without light?
4. Are the rules for how seed from crossings inheritate? And is that
related to leaves and/or flowers - size? shaps? colours?
5. Do it excist a list over the best cultivars for breeding?
If it is ok I can find seeds now I have some old red azaleas in the garden,
and maybe some of the evergreens a well.
Hope someone can help me with this.
Best regards
Arnhild :)
