HAVE: Cananga odorata (ylang ylang)

Posted by pilotkh4 N.T. Aust (My Page) on Wed, Sep 21, 05 at 6:24
Hello to all you patient, future cananga growers. The seed is still on the trees. Looking like fat little avocadoes. It is getting darker but still not ripe. Hang in there, this is my first time with it. I'm off to Cairns Monday for knee surgery so hopefully it won't ripen and fall while I'm away.
Updates or ripe seed soon.
Later,

Hello,
glad they arrived O.K. Pop them out of the berries and remove the pulp. Plant them in a well drained mix and keep them warm they should germinate very quickly. Mine have flowered from seed in two to three years.
regards,
Brendon |

| It was a treat to receive the small fig-like fruits containing the seed. I'd bought a small quantity of commercial seed in the past (which had been removed from the pulp) and not a single one germinated. I discovered later that the seeds have to be planted fresh or they won't germinate. So receiving them in their little figs is fantastic! The only thing I'd query is germination time, because I've heard that they usually take weeks to germinate--up to three months even. Probably depends on growing conditions as well as the freshness of the seed itself--freshness is not in doubt here! Thanks again, Brendon. |
