Seed viability

[George R Stilwell, Jr.]

Brian,

The fastest A. triphyllum germination record I have is:

60% in 17 days, 100% in 24 days.

The worst was:

17% in 20 days, 67% in 22 days, 84% in 71 days.

I don't have very much data on A. triphyllum because there's not
much cause to germinate seed of this species since it grows
wild all over the place.

At any rate, if you don't see something in 20 days, you may not
see anything ever. Be aware that this data is for radicle emergence
not shoot development. That takes significantly longer and
even extends into the second year for some species.

I use the Deno seed germination method which lets one see
the radicle as it emerges.
