Echinocereus stramineus fruit
Is there something simple and useful to be done with this? I assume it's full of seeds that won't germinate if I just bury the fruit.

Re: Echinocereus stramineus fruit
yes, but you can clean the fruit and get the seeds out.. I would stick it in a blender if you have one.
Here's to you, all you insidious creatures of green..er I mean cacti.
Re: Echinocereus stramineus fruit
Those seeds look really tiny! Have you sown seeds yet? Will this be a first attempt?

That fruit looks the size of a pea. You'll need some fine point tweezers and a magnifying glass to sort them out.

Re: Echinocereus stramineus fruit
I haven't, I have no idea what to do. If it's too hard, I might just give it away to the first taker. I have a buncha different hedgehogs here, but I've never seen a fruit like this before. It had detached from the plant, but was buried too deep in the spinage for our local fauna to plunder.
I am going to try to sow Agave seed this fall. I have an A. celsii 'Nova' with about 25 pods ripening at this very moment.

Oh no, it's pretty big -- about the size of a golf ball.M.B wrote:That fruit looks the size of a pea. You'll need some fine point tweezers and a magnifying glass to sort them out.
