Cleaning and planting wild plum seed

- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Some thoughts about plum seed processing and my current method for planting the seed. I don’t like to store plum seed, it feels like they really want to be planted right away. That said there is flexibility if you are unable to to that. I think the potential for wild plums is huge. The size color and flavor diversity they hold is immense. And their hardiness and resistance to pests is very strong. A super important plant ally.

This spring i found a stash of dry prunus pits (P.cerasifera nigra) inbetween the firewoodpile , about 3 cupped hands full , i planted those in milkcrates and about 10 percent started growing
That’s awesome must have been a rodent stash or something !
When I go to the Wigtown market, I usually have my book stall next to a photographer. Last year we swapped plums and wine cap mushrooms. The plan is this year to ask him to bring me a bunch more of those delicious plums to eat and plant the seeds. I will make a box or more and hopefully they will sprout next year. Thanks for the idea! Take care.
I love that :)

I just got a wild plum seed. I hope I'll be able to grow it but I'm in an apartment. So trying the bag trick without cracking them so hopefully it won't rot.
@@TranquilityChiba best of luck !! Keep an eye on the bag often to watch for mold. If you catch mold early you can easily rub it off with your fingers, it will start out just on the surface of the seed.
Awesome stuff! I've been planting these from seedlings purchased at our local university, but have access to plenty of the plums themselves and will be building some air root pruning beds thanks to all of your instruction. Love the videos!
I’m so glad to hear that.! Setting up your first box is a lot of fun. Really cool that you have access to plums to pick. We need more of them planted around ! Important work you’re doing 🌳🌳
Hope you can update us the result after it comes out.
Absolutely !
I have an American plum that I have been trying to grow the seeds off of. I cracked the seeds out of the stones and put them in the fridge for cold strat (ah youtube...). All of them rotted. So it looks like the best method is what you did here? Do you or have you ever cracked the seed out of the stones?
Great question. No I’ve never cracked them out, the embryo are able to break out on their own very well. I’ve lost my fair share of seeds in the fridge to rot. Not to say that the fridge won’t work but just that mold is tricky under those circumstances. With everything I know right now this method of planting outside when seed are fresh is what I would recommend.
@@livingsoiltreefarm Thanks
I have and they all rotted>>>>I grow cherry plum and I find the hot method for 3 months and cold for 3 months>WORKS PERFECT>>if you do crack them open just put them in a baggy with DAMP very Damp (almost dry)peat moss>>And put in the fridge for a month or so>>>>They will germinate quicker and your chances of killing your seeds are lower than the paper towels method>>>I find stone fruit is so fragile once broken out of their shell so the cooler you keep them without freezing them will germinate them...Hope this helps as I do the fridge method now for almost everything as seeds are exspensive and I want a high germination rate>>>This works>>>doing the strawberry tree Arbutis Unedo this year and that method worked .for 89% of seed so far
@@violethouseworth5943 great input thank you !
