Re: Musella Lasiocarpa question
I bought 5 seeds thru ebay from a lady in B.C. I put the seeds in the fridge for a few weeks just because I read to do so and then planted them at room temp(warm days,cool nights) Of the five seeds 1 germinated the first week and the rest never did.I think I did well cosidering these to be one of the harder ones to germinate.This was 2 yrs ago and this winter Ill be leaving it outside for the first time!!!

Re: Musella Lasiocarpa question
Well my seeds look like something ate them and they are hollow.. Not from where I trimmed them either.. Oh well I still have the EV's. I wish you all luck though :^)
