Re: Best Tasting Dwarf......

Re: seeds float or sink?
Hey Steven I'd go with that they are dry and take your chances. At the worst you will only get better @ germinating difficult seeds.. Then its all down hill. :^)

Re: day 1 of basjoo outside
Just be careful of roots. I'm sure it'll be just fine. Also, now that there's no leaves, you can keep it in the sun instead of shade.

Orinoco and Rajapuri are great choices. When I lived in zone 6/7 I grew Ensetes. Since your main focus in a cooler climate is foliage, Ensete is a good choice since it grows very rapidly. I am...
