I dont even plant anything but i subscribed because of no nonsense video. Maybe expand on peel techniques that comments arr refering too. Id also like a 3-6 month update are the peeled still gtowing better after so many days or is it just a boost in start.
Thank you @SamMaciel, I appreciate the support. I too am thinking about the long term effects, a 3-6 months follow-up would be good, but I even wondered if it would have any long term influence on things like the tree's resistance to pests and disease, fruit productivity, etc... A long term study like that would be great, and be what I would ideally want to do, but another part of me also thinks the genetic make up of the seed is already there, and how it's germinated is not likely to have such long term effects, and that maybe the boost in start is good enough. Either way, I agree with you and your thinking. Thanks again, and take care.
@AGoodLife "Nature vs Nurture" experiment.. maybe 100% is genetic and maybe the whole Peeling is just to kick-off the plant. In that case simple as do it to help your odds of getting started. But if it does affect long term then it adds to justificationnof the time spent. Some would rather not spend time peeling seed and just plant a tray and use what sprouts.
@@SamMaciel True. Probably not going to happen unfortunately, but I would love to spend that time, and keep around enough of a sample size of trees and document results.
have you tried to use a nail clipper to cut the tip of the seed? It should have the same effect as peeling, but I don't know if peeling the whole seed would yield better results.
I like how straight to the point this is. Thank you!
Thank you @sophisticatedwrat! I try to make them informative and concise. Take care

Thanks for the suggestion @MetaView7. I'll try that method too and see what I find. Take care
