From Seed Division: Sputnik 184’s Picea Glehnii Forest

[Sputnik 184]

Had this packet of seed as a birthday gift at the end of November. Thrilled to get them as when I’d
seen them for sale they were always out of stock.

Put them in my usual pot of sand in the fridge and hoped for the best. Wasn’t really expecting much although I have had success with Engelmann and Jezoensis this way before.

Planted out the seedlings today. In the greenhouse to get more light.

Hi Sputnik, any idea where the seeds came from? I've got 30 on order from someone on ebay but ideally I'd like another source. Glad yours have sprouted.

I believe mine may have been an ebay purchase too.

Just made further enquiries about the origin of mine. They also came from Russia. I was very surprised but thrilled to achieve germination. I’ve had a few damp off but still have quite a few seedlings surviving.
