This morning I found that all seven of the TreeProject boxes now have seeds germinating. Here are the five new ones today.
Grey box, Eucalyptus microcarpa:
Manna gum, Eucalyptus viminalis:
Messmate, Eucalyptus obliqua:
Red stringybark, Eucalyptus macrorhyncha:
Yellow box, Eucalyptus melliodora:
Last night we had thunder and lightning, and today seeds are popping out of the soil. It may just be co-incidence, but I've noticed this happen in previous years, too. Thunderstorms seem to be followed by bulk germination. Or perhaps all these seeds would have popped up overnight anyway!

Interesting about that thunderstorm and germination. I read a long time ago that to stake my roses up with copper wire would induce germination...I never did try it though--hugs, Julierose
