Our seed is from wild Canadian plants collected many years ago, not field grown and after four to five years growth, you should get roots like these.

Collected as four year transplants.

Guy,

That is some nice looking seed/embryo.

And sure is some good looking seng - especially considering they are only 4 years old. It sure has a nice and wild look to it.

I noticed you had 4 year old rootlets for sale on your website order form and at a good price too, but it says, you only sell those in Canada.

Too Bad - I bet they would make some good seed bed roots.

So you can ship seeds out of Canada, but not roots ?

PS - Thanks for sharing the pics and comments.

According to CITIES neither should be exported.

Really nice looking embryos, the roots as well.

What did you use to cut the seed?

I received my first seed shipment this past Friday. After testing, I discovered out of 15lb that over 1/2 a lb floated. All these showed signs of decay or were hollow. I also tested 300 sinkers and b/w 5-10% of those showed small signs of possible decay (pinhead size brown areas). I have contacted the supplier and they agreed to compensate with the figured amount that would be bad. I informed them that if they didn't test that batch either that they should send 10-20% more than that. I'm uncertain that I should accept this in fear of prior contamination of what were the \" good \" seed from this shipment.

I use a swiss army knife that is very sharp and cut from the bottom of the seed,( the end without the pore). It is tricky but once you get it it's easy. Some guys that farm field grown can do it with there teeth. I think I'll use a knife just in case I burst open one full of ghoo.
