Seeds from berries

Growing Hawtorns and Berbuis from berries, do you plant all the berry or squese the seed out and then plant the berry??

 

Think you're meant to stratify Hawthorn, to break the seed down, i'll have a look......

 

Yep,

Thank you very much for that

 

You're welcome Jif

 

I buy cell-grown plants of each (around about now), pot them in 9cm for the winter, in the greenhouse, and then plant out in the Spring or, if greenhouse space available, pot on to 1L in April/May and plant out next Autumn - they would be waist high by then

Cell-grown Berberis I bought last year are 36p each and Hawthorn 30p each. I bought from here:

Thank you Kristen, I don't want to buy ( i don't like buying online), as there's lots of berries about, i'm going to have a go from seed/berry, Thank you for the link they look nice and cheap

 

Any particular reason?

I've nothing against growing them from seed - can't argue with the price-point! - but its quite a slow process, unless you aren't going to need the plants for a couple of years

 

I'm don't trust buying online, got done when DD came out first, they didn't take one payment but had 4 payments and a night mere to get them to get it right sine then i've never trusted it

 

Sorry to hear that. My credit card company has always taken my word for it when a transaction has gone wrong and refunded my account and then, presumably, gone after the supplier. With credit card (as distinct from debit card I believe) the transaction is with the credit card company, so no need to pursue a doggy retailer, just short-pay the credit card company.

If any of these suppliers are near you then you would have the option to collect I expect Chances are that they are opposite end of the country though ...
