I want to start a hedge of flying dragons but found the hard way that they do not easily root. I have had NO sucess and I am usually pretty darn good at rooting stuff! Anyway, I only have two small flying dragons and maybe 4 fruits between the both of them (mainly due to a very late hard freeze we had this year). I need to get ahold of some seeds....at least 100 of them. Does anyone have a sorce where I might purchase some fresh seed? thanks!

Cindy

If you have 4 fruit, you should have almost 100 seed. FD are loaded with seed.

Welcome to the forum BTW.

Ok, thanks. Should I wait until the fruit turns orange before I pick them to harvest the seeds?

Cindy, I think I might have some extra fruit. You can contact me through this forum.

Thanks Ned...that would be fantastic! I'll send you a PM

Just watch out for Ned. You'll run out of space quickly... He came over last night & now I have some hardy Avocados I need to find space for.

Seems every time I see Ned a little more of my lawn disappears...

Lazz, I have budded a few of the avocados on some seedlings I have and am going to stick a few trays of cuttings tomorrow to see if I can get some on their own roots. Also planted about 25 seed from the old Gainesville.

Anyone have Mexicola? I would like to get a few pieces to graft to the seedlings I hope to have next year.

Hi,

This is the first year that my Flying Dragon trees fruited.I got one and counted seeds, there were 60 seeds just in 1,5in. fruit, unbelievable

wow! that's a lot of seed! I should be in great shape then, between the ones my trees produced and the ones Ned is sending me. It might take a while, but I'll have my flying dragon hedge. Cool!

Cindy

Btw, I can also send you some seeds but I live in Turkey and the shipping will cost a lot Think it as a last solution.

My fruit are small this year. I think I let the tree get too dry a few time. The little fruit still have a good bit of fruit in them.
