The ones that float are RS 98% of the time. I found 26 seeds inside the first seed pod/fruit that I cut up into slices. 18 of them sunk quickly to the bottom of a glass jar full of water. 8 of them remained floating for over 3 hours. On closer examination under a 'Jewlers Eye Piece' the 26 good seed have small white things coming out of them. I will plant all of the seeds but separate the good from the bad. I just hope I won't need to wait ½ a year for some results. |
