Bael Fruit is rich in fiber, calcium, B vitamins and vitamin A. The fruit pulp contains 2.9 grams of fibre, 85mg of calcium, 1.2mg of vitamin B2 and 91 IU vitamin A per 100 grams. Its pulp and the juice is the most effective natural medicine against the scorching heat of summers. Bael is often cultivated near the temples because it represents sacred tree in Hinduism.Bael Fruit, (Aegle marmelos), bel also spelled Bael, also called Bengal quince, tree of the family Rutaceae, cultivated for its fruit. The plant is native to India and Bangladesh and has naturalized throughout much of Southeast Asia . The unripe fruit, sliced and sun-dried, is traditionally used as a remedy for dysentary and other digestive ailments. The ripe fruit is sweet, aromatic, and cooling. The tree’s wood is yellowish white and hard but not durable. Bears strong spines and alternate compound leaves with three leaflets. The sweet-scented white flowers are borne in panicle clusters and are sometimes used in perfumes. The fruit is pyriform (pear-shaped) to oblong in shape and 5–25 cm (2–10 inches) in diameter. It has a very hard woody gray or yellow rind and sweet, thick, orange-colored pulp.Outdoors: Zones 10-12Bael Germination:1) Soak seeds for 12 hours.2) Use a heated propagator to keep the soil at appx. 85-90 degrees F at all times. 3) Use a 50% sand, mixed with 50% well draining seed starting mix for optimal germination. 4) Dig a hole, 2-inches deeper in the soil for sowing seed. Water it regularly to keep moist at all times, but make sure not to overwater as it will rot the seeds. Mulch the soil with some dried leaves to conserve its moisture. Or, use a piece of plastic with a few small holes cut in it to maintain High Humidity. 5) Germination is erratic as with any tropical seeds, so don’t toss out any that don’t sprout first as they will all sprout at different times. Some may sprout within 1-3 weeks, but expect most of them to sprout anytime between 4-6 weeks as long as they are provided optimal conditions.”Please Contact us First if you need Anything”

STRAWBERRY TREE SEEDS (Arbutus unedo) Edible Red Berry Irish KillarneyCompact Strawberry Tree is a Four Season Evergreen Shrub with Outstanding Flowers, Fruits, Leaves, and Bark. The Branching is also Denser. Small, urn shaped Whitish-Pink Flowers are Produced from October to December. Round, 3/4″ knobby Fruits gradually Ripen to and Orange Red Color when in Full Flowering. Choose a Protected Site to Ensure Fruit Every Year. The Dark Green Glossy Foliage is Beautiful in itself, as is the Attractive Cinnamon colored Bark. Arbutus unedo is naturally adapted to dry summer climates, and has become a very popular ornamental plant in California and the rest of the west coast of North America. It can grow easily in USDA hardiness zones 8-11 Outdoors, or can be grown in zones 4-7 when grown in containers and brought indoors during the colder months.Including Highly Medicinal Properties, The Strawberry Fruit replicates flavors reminiscent of apricots and guavas with subtle woody undertones, a characteristic evident of many wild shrub fruits.Strawberry Tree Germination:Strawberry Tree seeds have a notoriously very low rate of germination not passing 4.2%, caused by the presence of certain inhibitory substances diffused by the fruit. A 30 day “cold stratification” & using a heated propagator to keep temperatures at an optimal warmth is a Must for Germination of the Strawberry Tree Seeds. Seed germination is strongly influenced by the temperature and shows an optimal temperature of 68°F that gives an appx. rate of 19.2%. When set to a higher temperature of 86°F seeds recorded a much higher rate of 18% germination. Needless to say, after cold stratification, keep the temperature at 86+ degrees F for optimal chances.1) Soak seeds in “Warm Water” for 6 days. Be sure to change water Daily.2) Place the seeds in a moist paper towel and place inside of a zip lock bag. Cut a few tiny holes into bag. Then to cold stratify, place in the fridge for 30 days. This will help increase germination rates greatly. Be sure to keep them “moist” (not wet) while stratifying.2) Sow seeds on top of a Well Draining Seed Starting Mix & Lightly cover with a thin layer of sand as they need light to germinate. Use a grow lamp, or keep in a sunny window.3) Use a spray bottle to keep the soil “moist”, not wet.4) Patience is required as germination times are erratic as with any Tropical seed. Seeds will germinate anywhere from 1 to 6 weeks and are More than Worth the Wait!”Please Contact us First if you need Anything”Germinación del madroño:Las semillas del madroño tienen una tasa de germinación notoriamente muy baja, que no pasa del 4,2 %, debido a la presencia de ciertas sustancias inhibidoras difundidas por la fruta. Una “estratificación en frío” de 30 días y el uso de un propagador calentado para mantener las temperaturas a un nivel óptimo son imprescindibles para la germinación de las semillas del madroño. La germinación de las semillas está fuertemente influenciada por la temperatura y muestra una temperatura óptima de 68 °F que da una tasa aproximada del 19,2 %. Cuando se establece una temperatura más alta de 86 °F, las semillas registraron una tasa de germinación mucho más alta del 18 %. No hace falta decir que, después de la estratificación en frío, mantenga la temperatura a más de 86 grados F para obtener las mejores posibilidades.1) Remoje las semillas en “agua tibia” durante 6 días. Asegúrese de cambiar el agua a diario.2) Coloque las semillas en una toalla de papel húmeda y colóquelas dentro de una bolsa con cierre hermético. Corte algunos agujeros pequeños en la bolsa. Luego, para estratificar en frío, colóquelas en el refrigerador durante 30 días. Esto ayudará a aumentar considerablemente las tasas de germinación. Asegúrese de mantenerlas “húmedas” (no mojadas) mientras estratifica.2) Siembre las semillas sobre una mezcla para semillas que drene bien y cúbralas ligeramente con una fina capa de arena, ya que necesitan luz para germinar. Use una lámpara de cultivo o manténgalas en una ventana soleada.3) Use una botella rociadora para mantener la tierra “húmeda”, no mojada.4) Se requiere paciencia, ya que los tiempos de germinación son erráticos como con cualquier semilla tropical. Las semillas germinarán en cualquier momento entre 1 y 6 semanas y ¡la espera vale la pena!”Comuníquese con nosotros primero si necesita algo”Please Check out our Other Items!Buy with Confidence as Customer Service is our #1 Priority and are available 7 days a week.

You’ll be shocked.Outdoors, Zones: 9-11Hummingbird Germination:These seeds have a really hard seed coat and need scarification before sowing to help & speed up germination. This can usually be done by sanding the hard shell of the seed with rough grit sandpaper, then pour a small amount of nearly boiling water on the seeds (being careful not to cook them!) and then soaking them for 24-38 hours in warm water. By this time they should have imbibed moisture and swollen – if they have not, then carefully make a small shallow nick in the seed’s coat (being careful not to damage the embryo) and soak for a further 12 hours. It is Very Important to use a heated propagated heat mat under your tray at least 78 Degrees F before sowing. Germination can take any where from 2 weeks to several months as with any Tropical or Exotic Seed. The propagator will help speed up some of them. But, Patience is needed for most of these seeds, but they’re more than Well Worth the Wait!”Please Contact us First if you need Anything”Please Check out our Other Items!Buy with Confidence as Customer Service is our #1 Priority and are available 7 days a week.

Native to Southeast Asia, after thousands of years of domestication have produced a delicious edible fruit. “Consumed by Millions” Great Tasting Bananas, but this Musa Species will have seeds in them.The “Dwarf” Species of (Musa acuminata) is a Species of Banana Originally from South China, better known as the Cavendish banana, it is a Species Implicated in the Origin of the Vast Majority of Edible Bananas. Many of the Bananas Sold in Grocery Stores are from Cultivars of this Species or from Hybrids in which this Species is a Parent. But this Species has Seeds in them Unlike Most any ever Purchased at a Grocery Store in the US. Primarily Grown Not for their Fruit but for their Ornamental Foliage, and Producing Beautiful Flowers, that Lends an Exotic and Tropical Aura to the home or the garden. Musa acuminata is a ‘Dwarf Variety’ that Typically Grows to 120 to 180cm (4 to 6ft) Tall. Extremely Suitable for Containers or Gardens, it Makes a Much More Manageable Plant than Other Species.The Fruits, at 12cm (5in) Long, are Smaller than the Common Desert Banana. They are Sweeter are at their Best when eaten Very Ripe.Banana Plants are the Largest Plants on Earth Without a Woody Stem. They are Actually Giant Herbs of the Same Family as Lilies, Orchids and Palms, and Produce Beautiful Flowers before Fruit. When your Bananas Begin to Sprout Cut off the Main Flower to Increase Larger banana growth. And Extremely Fast Growing Tree that Reaches its Full Height in a Few Months after being Established. The Trunk of a Banana Plant (the pseudostem) is made of Sheaths of Overlapping Leaves, Tightly Wrapped Around Each Other.Broad, Long, Graceful Leaves and Rapid Growth Make the Banana a Favorite Plant for Providing a Tropical Look to Pool or Patio Areas. The Development of Bananas Following a Frost-Free Winter is a Source of Both Pride and Amazement to Those Unfamiliar with Banana Culture. Musa Germination:Sow indoors at any time of year. Sow seeds as soon as you are able. If you are not going to sow them, store them in their packaging in a cool, dark, dry place. (Do not refrigerate)1) Pour distilled boiling water over seeds and allow them to soak for 3 – 4 days in the warm water. Let the seeds cool with the water. Change the water & Repeat this process each day. This process is Very important, as gets rid of germination inhibitors by softening the rock hard shells of the Musa seeds.2) Fill either large cells or trays with perlite, vermiculite & sterilized compost. Stand the trays in water until the medium is completely moist.3) Sow the seeds an inch deep. Spray the seeds with a little copper based fungicide.4) Use a heated propagator under the trays. Bottom heat is needed for optimal results with any Musa seed, so use a propagator if you have one or in a warm location out of direct sunlight for best results. Do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep at a constant temperature of 68 to 77°F. Keep at 77+ during the day, while letting the temperature drop to 68-70 at night as this will daily change in temperature will increase germination rates and speed.5) Check the seeds daily for germination. If mold or fungus starts to appear, remove the seeds and wash them in warm water. Spray them with fungicide and re-sow in a fresh medium in a sterilized pot. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged. As with any Tropical or Exotic seed, patience is needed as germination is always erratic. Some may sprout within 2 to 3 Weeks, while most others can take from a few all the way up to Twelve Months. Do not give up too soon! They are Worth the Wait!Growing:When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7cm (3in) pots, taking care not to damage the root system. Grow on in well-lit conditions, and pot on, into rich, well drained soil, as required. Water the plant thoroughly and every 1 to 3 days thereafter depending on the season. Do not soak – remember moist soil, not wet, not dry. Position:Musa do not like wind, or rather you will not like the way they look as the leaves spit in windy locations. The planting site should be chosen for protection from wind and cold weather, if possible, the south or southeast side of the house.Cold hardy bananas appreciate sun, water and a rich soil to grow well. It does not matter if the plants are planted in a position that is in shade during winter as the plants will be covered up.The plants will grow in a wide variety of soils, but to thrive, they should be planted in a rich, well-drained soil that is not compacted to avoid waterlogging over the winter. Before planting, test your soil’s ability to drain properly. Dig a post-hole about 60cm (2ft) deep. Fill it with water. If it empties within two hours, the drainage should be ideal.Once you have chosen a location for your banana plant, you need to prepare the soil well. Make sure the hole is is at least 60cm (2ft) deep, dig plenty of home made compost and composted manure into an area considerably bigger than your new plant’s pot. Pop the plant it the soil and water well.Cultivation:Their rapid growth rate makes bananas plants heavy feeders. During warm weather, apply a balanced fertilizer once a month.Spread the fertilizer evenly around the plant in a circle extending 120cm (4ft) from the trunk. Feed container banana plants on the same monthly schedule using about half the rate for outside plants.Overwintering:Container grown plants can be moved indoors or to a sheltered spot in the garden. Outdoor plants need protection, either wrap the trunk or cover with blanket if the banana plants are small and low temperatures are predicted. You can also dig up the roots, and store in a dark dry place inside until spring. The foliage can be cut back to 15 to 20cm (6 to 8in). Leaves are damaged at 0°C (32°F) but the plant will grow back from the root at the beginning of spring. Northern Climates need to cover the roughly 18 inches left that has been cut down with a thick layer of mulch during the winter months so they will remerge in Spring.Origin:Musa acuminata is native to the biogeographical region of Malaysia and most of mainland Indochina.Early farmers introduced M. acuminata into the native range of M. balbisiana resulting in hybridisation and the development of modern edible clones. Westward spread included Africa which already had evidence of Musa acuminata × Musa balbisiana hybrid cultivation from as early as 1000 to 400 BC. They were probably introduced first to Madagascar from Indonesia. From West Africa, they were introduced to the Canary islands by the Portuguese in the 16th century, and from there were introduced to Hispaniola (modern Haiti and the Dominican Republic) in 1516.Musa acuminata is better known for being implicated in the origin of the vast majority of edible bananas. Four subspecies (banksii, zebrina, malaccensis and burmannica) have been shown to be involved in the domestication of the bananaThe banana plant is the largest herbaceous flowering plant. It is botanically classed a herb, not a tree due to the lack stringy tissue (wood) in the stem. The banana itself is considered a fruit because it contains small seeds.All the above-ground parts of a banana plant grow from a structure usually called a ‘corm’. Plants are normally tall and fairly sturdy, and are often mistaken for trees, but what appears to be a trunk is actually a ‘false stem’ or pseudostem.Musa is in the family Musaceae. Some 70 species of Musa were recognised by the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families as of January 2013. Several produce edible fruit, while others are cultivated as ornamentals.Nomenclature:The genus Musa was created by Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778). Linnaeus had yet to establish two-word names for organisms so was content with the one-word name Musa for the banana. However, it was the custom, soon to be a rule (of Linnaeus, who loved rules), that names (of genera at least) must derive from Latin or Greek, or be eponyms for naturalists. Linnaeus was well aware that musa came from the Arabic moaz or mauz. for banana and was therefore ‘barbaric’ (i.e. non-classical). But he liked the name and it did have some ‘official’ precedence in the works of Cesalpino and others. Cleverly he circumvented this troublesome etymology by ‘naming’ the banana after Antonius Musa, a botanist and physician to the great Emperor Augustus, thus coining an eponym that was also decidedly Latin.The species name acuminata means ‘tapering into a long narrow point’ is a reference to the acuminate leaf of this species. The word derives from the classical Latin acuminare, meaning to sharpen.The word acus, meaning a needle-like structure. Acute, meaning extremely sharp or severe or intense, is used to describe many things such as acute pain, or an acute triangle.Pronounced a·cu·mi·na·tum. It is commonly called the Chinese Banana and Ladyfinger BananaThe name banana is thought to be of West African origin, from the Wolof word banan meaning ‘finger’, and passed into English via Spanish or Portuguese. The bananas that were growing in Africa as well as Southeast Asia were not the eight-to-twelve-inch giants that have become familiar in the supermarkets today. They were small, about as long as a man’s finger, and have seeds inside.Will ship as soon as payment is received. “BUY WITH CONFIDENCE!!!”As Customer Service is our #1 Priority.
