orinoco X saba !

I didn't know where to post this, because it can go into a lot of catagories.
I have seeds in my orinoco x saba fruits!

Re: orinoco X saba !

WHO WHAT WHERE? Is this a cross breed? aren't both of them seedless?

Re: orinoco X saba !

YES!
But they both have fertile pollen. So I pollinated orinoco with saba, saba with orinoco, and basjoo with saba.
The basjoo fruits may not have had time to produce seed (or have been successfully pollinated),but the saba fruits are plumping up. I may pull a fruit off of that bunch today as well. The anticipation is killin' me.:D

Re: orinoco X saba !

Its looks like some of the Basjoo pollen must have gotten on the Orinoco. did you use the same brush pollinate them all?

Re: orinoco X saba !

No, I used the anthers from male saba flowers.

Re: orinoco X saba !

its still cool either way! I wonder if the seeds would germinate.

Re: orinoco X saba !

An orinoco x basjoo cross would be far more desirable, especially if it produced edible fruit, but these attempts were made before my basjoo ever flagged.

Re: orinoco X saba !

Wow, look at you! I'm amazed you had bunches at the same time, or did you save the pollen?

You didn't do Basjoo x Orinoco?

Re: orinoco X saba !

I figured that the opportunity to cross basjoo with orinoco would be more likely to happen again, so I only used saba pollen for my basjoo attempts .

Re: orinoco X saba !

Very nice man congrats. Do these seeds need any dormant time before germination?

Re: orinoco X saba !

Is it possible to freeze the pollen for later use?
