Rob:
A prerequisite for any fruit breeder is you must be able to plant the seeds
and grow the seeds into new trees.
So read the different articles in NAFEX Pomona where different of our writers
talk about how to germinate seeds, and read other writers...Burbank wrote
about how he germinated seed...you can do the best controlled or open
pollinations, but can get nothing unless you can germinate the seeds.
