Guest guest Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 I have about 30 that I bought from a dealer in exotic seeds on eBay. I am trying to germinate about 6, and have 30 leftover. I would be willing to give them to him. I hate to waste seeds, and I won't use them. I don't know how viable they are, because mine have not yet germinated. I have also seen other sellers, by searching on Google. , "thestar777" <thestar777> wrote: > Greetings: > > I have a friend who is a botanist.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Dear Ryanji Thanks for your message My Friend I may be wrong in this..........please dont tell anyone I said this : ) ........ however there only seem to be certain trees that lend themselves to the restrictive method of cultivation your friend is thinking about There are most likely those that say any plant can be grown in the restricted manner of Bonsai Cultivation however have personally seen some species of trees grown in this manner that really dont look right After seeing the growth structures of adult Rudraksa Trees my reaction is that they really dont fall into the category of trees that a person would Bonsai However each to their own I guess Thanks DharmaDev thestar777 <thestar777 <> Saturday, March 29, 2003 4:16 PM Rudraksha Seed Sprouting? Greetings: I have a friend who is a botanist. He maintains the botanical gardens in a musuem in my state. He is interested in purchasing about 30 seeds to try to germinate them and possibly grow them in his gardens. He understands that these trees can grow to over a 150 feet and that they must be grown in a frost free zone. His idea is to grow them and cultivate them in a bonzai tree manner. Does anyone know where I can get 30 viable beads for him? Would the rudra center in India carry these or be able to get them?

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 Are these just seeds? Or they the whole bead? (I don't know the difference. Are the seeds in the beads?

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 Dharmadev: Thank you for your input. I've never actually seen one of these trees. Also, he was thinking of bonzaing it to about 5-10 feet, not the little potted things that are stereotypical bonzai. We shall see what happens. Thanks again!

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 Dear Ryanji There is usually one seed in each triangular shaped compartment between each Mukhi Line in each seed so 5 Mukhi Beads will have 5 seeds and 6 Mukhi Beads will have 6 seeds. Have not tested the higher Mukhi Beads due to rarity of Beads Havent been able to document the sprouting process yet however it seems that they might sprout to the inside of the Bead in the hollow central chamber where we pass the string through for stringing the Malas. This would be a really sophisticated sprouting process the Beads have adopted because the exterior of the Bead would then protect the seedling in the first few days in its new environment so it would have better chance of survival If anyone has seen a Rudraksa Sprout please let us know if they sprout through the Central Chamber Thanks and Take Care My Friend DharmaDev thestar777 <thestar777 <> Sunday, March 30, 2003 4:27 AM Re: Rudraksha Seed Sprouting?

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 Not sure about that, DD. Friends of mine who do a lot of that say pretty much ANYTHING can be bonsaied.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 Happy to send! I got them in the mail a couple of months ago. The seller also sent some samples of other tropical plants and trees. I'll send those, too. Maybe he can do something with them.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 Ryan, I'm sorry it took me a few days to get to this, but I'm priority posting the rudraksha seeds to Mike, today. I am also sending him some other trpoical plant seeds that the seller included. Since I live in an apartment, I can't do much with them.
