The seed pods have finally ripened. I am doing a few tests on them now to see if their good or not. Is 15 seeds apiece a reasonable amount. I want as many people to get a try as possible. Aborea are a cool liking brug, I keep mine in light shade all the time. As far as I know these are pure seeds, they were not crossed with anything here.

SASE is how I would like to do this. 15 seeds is coming out to be about .5oz.

I tried to send you a email but it would not go through. I would be pleased to grow out some seed for you if you need another person to try.

Hi Allison, I had to trim my arborea back a bit to get it into the garage for winter storage. I had the impression that arborea cuttings were kinda tricky to root, but 1 piece has a bunch of nubbies going on. Another piece is the top 3' of a trunk & has opened a few buds indoors, but is not showing nubbies yet.

My experience with the arborea is still being tweaked...I think I gave mine too much shade this year. It grew tall and didn't bloom until late in the season. I love how all parts of this brug are fuzzy and I would grow it for the vanilla fragrance alone.

Sally, I went and checked my email should  be fine,  with checking out the seed I was making sure that there were seeds in the cork.  there is. I am just wanting to get these to as many as possable.

Patrick, they do well with morning light, but no afternoon sun. great on thr rooting, for me it is hit and miss.  how soon did you put it out? I usually have them out at the end of march.

Emoticons not working for me either Sally but I don't know why or how to fix them.
However when I clicked on Allison's name I was able to send her an email.

Hi Allison, I'm also having trouble sending you an email. Yahoo seems to think I have an incorrect address?

I planted these seeds the end of January and pretty much forgot about them. They were in a corner of the greenhouse that gets watered but pretty much ignored. I was cleaning out today and low and behold. Three little Aboreas.
Should I send you one Patrick?

Thanks for the offer, Sally, but I have a good-sized arborea plant grown from a rooted cutting (or seedling?) that Allison gave me a few years ago. Back in November I posted here about the 2 cuttings I took from my plant...here, 6 months later, still no roots! They looked good all winter, the long cutting having small branches slowly developing with small leaves & even tiny buds...but once the rare sunshine started to appear & hit them (morning only) thru the window, they began to look a little "off". The short cutting is now dead. I think I'll stick the long one (close to 3') in a pot of soil & put it somewhere out of direct sun...if that doesn't bring about rooting, then the poor thing will just have to die.

My mother plant attempted to grow in the dark garage over winter & now has branches that look like potatoes that sprout in a dark place! I'm going to need to do a little judicial pruning. I've put the plant back under my fir trees this year. It performed better there 2 years ago than it did last year on the other side of my yard, beneath my multi-trunked mountain ash. Hopefully, it will bloom earlier & better this year.

Sunshine today...after several stormy days. I'd better get a little gardening done!
