Abstract:
The question box session was convened at 8:00 pm with Mr. Ralph Shugert and Mr. Ben Minamoto serving as moderators.

MODERATOR SHUGERT: Has anyone propagated Viburnum nudum from seed? If so, what seed treatments were used?

DON SHADOW: The seed, unless picked a little green, will take 2 years to germinate. If picked green and planted in the fall it will often germinate the following spring.

MODERATOR SHUGERT: What is the most successful method of growing Taxus cuspidata (Syn.: T. cuspidata 'Capitata') from seed and how important is the seed source?

ED MEZITT: I collect and clean my own seed, plant them out the same fall, and cover the beds with hay. The seed germinates the second year. We have been using lead arsenate for rodent control.

CASE HOOGENDOORN: Put the seed in sane for one year and then sow it. The seed will germinate the next year. If it is dead it will never come up.

RALPH SHUGERT: Mr. Hoogendoorn hit a very salient point in this matter.
