Got my seeds today. Sent in a regular envelope and several got crushed in the sorting machines. Oh well. Plenty left in the batch.IMG_20180104_093439562.jpg

Might it be your soil containing a lot of organic matter?
I was having germination problems and has been advised to change my soil.
If you are interested visit my entry's thread.

Well I have two survivors and one volunteer which popped up in my cascading juniper as I reused the soil. The one with the lighter was cut, the other not. Surviving Ohio winter is the next obstacle.IMG_20180830_092922127.jpg

Cheated a bit by bringing indoors when we had some below zero weather and let em wake up early.IMG_20190310_130344358.jpg
The white container was the cut one

I spread out these roots and placed directly on the bottom of a more shallow container and wired a bit

The uncut one is a bit of a mess with a long knotted tap root

Trimmed it back some but not too much. Repotted both in Lava, DE and bark.

Looking good!!! I can’t wait to get mine out of storage when it warms up a bit more.

All the cool kids are doing it.
One on the left is the cut one. Has some low buds.
Uncut one is swallowing the wire quickly. I'll probably take it off.
No records being broken here.
