Again, I think a very noteworthy observation.  In some plants, planting t=he
seeds, minimally ripened, with the body of the fruit around it, as it mig=ht
occur in nature would appear to have some survival value. But growth and
flowering this fast seems unusual to me
.. Got fascinated here.  I may be able to tell you about A. dracontium
locally, because I did just that, planted some fruits where they lay.
Nothing noted yet, though, on heavy clay soil.  Adam Fikso in Illinois
