beautiful Mario

[marazz53]

Hi malospine, thanks.

[Carlo & Daniele]

Hi Mario, how large are these koh-yo and how old are the seedlings when you graft them?

thanks a lot
take care

[marazz53]

Hi C&D, that koh-yo is the same one, from different angles, it is 5 cm. base, and sown on 23-3-2011 and I grafted it on 25-6-2011. I bought those seeds from you, germination 3 out of 10, and 3 different plants.

I thought the third photo of kikko koh-yo was a different plant, but it's only a matter of perspective!
great plant by the way, do you fix the scion in any manner when you graft or only give it a light pressure? cos you grafted 3 months old!

thanks a lot

[marazz53]

Hi C&D, thanks. No, I just cut and put it on.

[Carlo & Daniele]

great, do you remember which was the crossing?

[marazz53]

Hi C&D, thanks. You should remember, cos you did the pollination. I will check later cos it's time to go to sleep. Good night.

[marazz53]

Hi C&D, Good evening, here is your crossing. Astro. FUKURYU banjyaku X Astro. KIKKO koh-yo RED. (FKB 002)...I hope that this will help you. Can you please show me your Astro. KIKKO koh-yo RED?

[Carlo & Daniele]

it's curious that the motherplant is fukuryu, but probably kikko koh-yo genes in itat plant were very strong.
here it is:

Hi C&D, looks very strong. I thought, I was going to see something really bright RED, like my seedling, that was my expectation.
Thanks...
