A term l coined for “rare seed” like growths l find in some cross’ hips. Usually large globular form and translucent.
Even find them in hips mixed with seeds of normal physiology. Or a hip may only contain one large one taking up the entire hip void volume - hip usually half to a third normal size of an OP control hip.
Anybody familiar with them ? Real or false seeds ?
There getting tried anyways as one’s a cross with Basye Purple.
Hi Riku,
I think that those are probably real achenes, but they have a more significant juicy aril. This aril can be scratched off with a fingernail or other gently abrasive method–I prefer to damage or remove this if at all possible, after which I also then allow achenes to fully air dry until I’m ready to begin stratification procedures. Even those without an obvious aril still have one, even though it may be very thin.
Some of those look a bit immature to me, given the degree of green coloration, but maybe they have actually reached physiological maturity in spite of that (I tend to look for physical signs of maturity, rather than counting the days from pollination.)

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for the info, good to get your feedback so quickly. Been meaning to educate myself on more than the basics of what goes on inside the “hip” after pollen applied to stigma. Beyond my Plant Bio 101 learnings from time of Linus … as a result of seeing things from shucking hundreds.
First year l can remember seeing the mother of pearls, with a high frequency which coincides with moving to an early harvest and more types of crosses.
Done on purpose as usually harvest late October, but thought l would go earlier due to impatience, high rodent trapped count and wanted to see if early made a difference - also … and key …. wanted to avoid the hip mush of post freeze harvest. The early hips turgidity makes seed collection a breeze.
I got the key info that being which crosses “made seed”. Thanks again.
Btw complete duds as seed parent were Fedstschenkoana, Polstjarnan, John Cabot and Franklin (seems always for me), Franco ended spotty, Canadian Shield, Lillian spotty, and more.
Good news for me is may have got RDxS to work as a pollen and seed parent … time will tell.
Greyed ones duds (for me) in table to come … the version to be posted later is not the “count” vetted one, Chinook sunrise result missing. About 2.
