phoenix rupicola

[gyuseppe]

here is my phoenix rupicola. the female is producing seeds, but they are too small, so they are not fertile

the oldest are around 23 years old

I didn't take a photo of the male, but it's much more beautiful than the female!

yes richard, I actually don't know how to put it, but my son does. We took 40 photos, I saw that I lost 60% of the plants, how sad.

I can't see the photos in the .heic format. Can you change them to .jpg?

I actually don't know how to do it! I have to ask my son, who is a mathematician and physicist and has done 12 years of university

On your computer with the photo file open, click on 'file' and look for 'export' then from drop down menu, choose 'as JPG.' At least that's how it works on my Mac laptop. I can do it and I'm not even very good at math.

2 photos small seeds (sterile)

Hello Dave ! your remember me?

Have you checked for seeds inside the small fruits? If you find seeds, even if they are small yet they are well shaped, you should test their fertility (finger nail test, floating test, sowing). Seeds reclinata x rupicola I am about to send to you are very small, but this only because the trunk I had selected for the cross was a relatively young and therefore short sucker to my convenience (much easier accessibility). Nevertheless seeds are fertile (well most of them probably because several of them have already germinated).

konstantinos are very small, but out of curiosity I will sow them
