Well, they're still alive!

Post by Nick_G »

Yavia seedlings after nearly 10 months in a shed up here in Shetland, frozen during the winter and they've stretched a bit over the summer. There were 25 or so back in Southend before a snail took a liking to them one night last summer. One is double headed after the snail attack, I don't know if you can see that. I'm well pleased I have six left.

One thing of note that I think I remember is that they germinated sporadically over a few months.

Own roots, doing well. I wonder how they'll react to being repotted?

Really impressive, not sure if we would be repeating the shed treatment if we got any seed.
