Experimental Garden Day 1 Black Saporte: planted 4 seeds // end of year 7 seeds

 Experimental Garden  Day 1 Black Saporte:  

I planted 4 seeds in long deeper pods, about 2.5cm below earth, 

now, see how long it takes for something to be seen, I understand that it takes about 4 wks, lets wait and see

one seed per pod

seeds with earth filled to the top, seed is about mid way into the tube pods

seeds are planted pointy end up, vertically, the other end was the where the seed was attached to the fruit, that will be rooting end so better it faces down.

I put a small transparent cone on top to keep the earth moist, should water once every two days

My friend brought me black saporte seeds from Asia.

And here we are.

I will follow step by step the above video to see if it would be successful, when it become a strong seedling, the experiment will be certified as successful.  :)

Seedling will then be grafted onto an adult fruiting persimmon tree. Persimmon tree cannot sustain more than -2C, so, no rough outdoors like a normal persimmon.

So, it will be in a green house !
