[Arisaema-l] seed pod question

[melissa]

>From my limited experience Charles,

I would have to say yes, A.ringens certainly does turn red and so do most others I have seen.

There are a few that turn orange more than red.

I generally wait until the fruit are ready to fall from the stalk before harvesting the seeds from the berries.

Subject: [Arisaema-l] seed pod question

 

Lately I have been collecting seed, mostly for the AEG Seed Exchange. All my American species' seed pods turn red when they are ripe for picking and cleaning. This year I have several Asian ones that made/are making seed for the first time, including ringens and sikokianum. Do ALL arisaema berries turn red when they are ripe, or do some stay green?  

 

Thanks.
