Question
Megan Olmstead (verified owner) –
Three Udo seeds germinated so far, they were planted back in November. I anticipated more will follow. Two look really healthy, while one is very wrinkledy and deformed. Any ideas what might’ve happened to this fella?

Richo Cech –
You are doing this correctly and it is quite possible that the wrinkly one is wrinkly due to a damaged or immature embryo. Like you said, ongoing germination is typical when the induction period is so elongated. good work, rare plant, matchless food, a real beauty when it gets big. r
