The Pots located under shade cloth and plastic. The plastic is to stop the rain soaking the pots too much.
Close up of the cells with the Giants. These are about 1 month old.
Now that we have had some success with the first trials we have 'upped the anti' a bit. We have another 2,000 seeds in the germination process in Northcote and I have today ( 4Dec09 ) put 1,000 seeds in the fridge in Sydney. About 800 of these are from a Giant tree that I came across in Mt Macedon so it will be interesting to see if any of these germinate around 10th Jan 2010. I am also trying the coffee paper and plastic bag technique on the sempervirens (without the month of fridge stratification) as I found these were even more difficult that the Giants to germinate.
