Grass Tree N0.9 is Planted!

Just after New Year - on the 6th of January we

planted this little tree into the front yard...no setbacks!

Going Great!

Also over this month

I have been collecting the seeds

from GT No. 7


Quite a Haul!
Some of the little pods had up to 3 seed in each Pod
Generally there was 1 seed per pod...which makes it easier to extract the
seed with the pointy tweezers.
I think approximately 80% of the seeds are viable!

***

GT No.9 did not have as many pods but they developed
into some lovely big seed pods and some even have two seeds in them.

This is about half of the seeds I collected from GT7...
I forgot to take the photo of all of them!!
However I did put the match in there for a size reference.
If you look closely you can see on the left side center (9o'clock)
one little seed is rather puny...not viable I would think!



I will be planting quite a few of these seeds fairly soon.

The Tally
The same as last post... No fatalities
and I fertilized the seedlings with Seasol (weak mix for natives)

66 seedlings in black pots
6 in the garden
2 in large pots = 74

Cheers Carol
