Effects of Short Artificial Winters

[Adam Fikso]

OK.  Read the data below.  Very much like mine.   Lots of no shows.  I
suspect the seeds were not viable.  My silver leaf also germinated as did
the other two consanguineums, three of the amurense, I don't think I had the
yunnanse v. aridum because I thought I had it having given seed to the
seedex in '07. Giorgio Pozzi (Italy) told me that his Yunnanense v. aridum
also germinated (as did yours).  The Yunnanense was independenty verified by
him as was mine by me, (ex Chen Yi who sent it under numer of A -63, I
think. I'd have to see if I still have that information.  Cheers, Adam
