The first bunch that I harvested have been cleaned, WHEW!!! and ready to go out... I think I will just clean them the old fashioned way. Here's what I did:
I soaked the fruit in water for about 4 days after I halved them. Last night I spent about 2 hours at the kitchen sink carefully peeling the fruit back by the outer layer, scraping the seeds as I went. I tried to minimize the amount of pulp that went with the seeds. Afterward, I strained them while running water over them. The pulp did not want to rinse through the strainer, so I picke as much of it out as I could. I then placed the seeds on a screen out in the garage to dry overnight. This morning, I took all the seeds and placed them in a tube with some sand in it, capped it and shook the dickens out of it. After about 5 minutes, I screened the sand off and they were done. All in all, they are cleaner and in alot better shape than the ones I ran through a blender last year, so hopefully you folks can have better luck with them germinating. I will be shipping them out by the first of next week and we be sending each of you an e-mail for notification... I plan on sending at least 100 seeds to everyone so you can try different techniques to see which works best. Like I asked, please submit feedback on your techniques and germination rates so others can learn from each other. Hopefully, we can start a thread on this so we can all learn more about this GREAT little nanner!!!


Hey all,
This is the thread I started and wanted everyone that got some of the seeds to contribute to it. Any info you can share with others on successes and failures would be good to share. With a minumum of 100 seeds apiece, we should get some good trials going on. SHARE THE INFO!!!!
