thanks for the update icon, it seems that folks are getting decent germ rates on these - as good as or better than me! - some of the seeds can take an extra few days to pop so dont give up on them too soon!
I got 5 of the 6 to sprout but only 4 made it i gave them well over a week for the other 2 to come up but they never did (i know thick shells) but no worries cause i still have more in the fridge & running just 4 is good for now.
I must have some kind of recessive combination because I swear theirs no pine in sight no balsam fir no Norwegian spruce they smell similar I think it smells maybe like another kind of pine tree I forget the name and smell so I need to smell it again .....ok I looked on the net I think it's Frasier fir maybe I need to smell a candle of it again but it's not balsam fir or Norwegian spruce that's what I was hoping for....in case you don't know how these trees smell just look at the candles at the store usually these smells are in holiday candles or are always on the shelfI can answer this, all of them are piney. If it isn't piney, it is not PTK.
Very nice PTK Black Bart... One of the better looking specimen’s I’ve seen of this variety...!!!...
