I suspect the seeds you bought online were were 'Viking' and the seeds from your friend's plants were not 'Viking'.<br /><br />Let me know if this helps.<br /><br />Dr. Eldon Everhart*************************https://www.blogger.com/profile/00846590682452363508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823227541112032576.post-89147568449482128912020-04-10T13:35:48.333-07:002020-04-10T13:35:48.333-07:00Thanks for the great blog post!

Then, i picked some large and tasty aronia berries of an unknown cultivar from a friend’s garden and saved the seeds. The seeds I bought were tiny, about 1 mm long, and the seeds I picked from my friend’s garden were much larger, about 2mm wide x 3 mm long. Now, I suspect that the larger seeds from the berries I picked were actually Viking (the bushes were about 6-7 ft tall) and the seeds I bought were an another unnamed cultivar. Does this sound likely to you based on the sizes of the seeds?Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09051561551186835069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823227541112032576.post-1382195665450200072019-03-04T10:04:35.844-08:002019-03-04T10:04:35.844-08:00Yes, that is possible if the seeds are planted cor...Yes, that is possible if the seeds are planted correctly, germinate, and grow.

The time required will depend on the length of the growing season, the number of sunny days (light intensity), rainfall (irrigation), soil structure, soil texture, soil nutrients (fertilizer), and other factors. It may take 2 to 3 years or longer to produce a seedling of field-planting size (6 to 8 inches tall). The seedlings are then big enough to transplant from the greenhouse or outdoor seedbeds to a permanent location in a field or landscape. With optimum growing conditions, it will then take another 3 to 5 years for the seedlings to reach a large enough size (3 to 4 feet tall) to flower and produce a pound or more of aronia fruit. A few plants may go through their juvenile or vegetative phase faster and begin flowering sooner. <br /><br />Dr. EverhartDr. Eldon Everharthttp://www.hortconsulting.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823227541112032576.post-61840260030427800022015-03-21T12:19:30.972-07:002015-03-21T12:19:30.972-07:00 How long it going to take for the aronia plant to...

However, some seeds that are viable will also float until they imbibe water, then they sink. Once you have soaked the seeds in water, you should plant them right away or stratify them if they haven’t already been stratified. Aronia seeds need cold, moist treatment. Stratification simulates natural winter conditions that aronia seeds must have before they will germination.<br /><br />Dr. EverhartDr. Eldon Everharthttp://www.hortconsulting.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823227541112032576.post-87314825142623159142014-01-01T12:51:48.376-08:002014-01-01T12:51:48.376-08:00I have pick up some seeds last week.

Aronia seed can be planted outdoors in the fall. ...<br />Aronia seed can be planted outdoors in the fall. But without protection, many of the seeds may die from natural causes. This is the reason why plants that rely mostly on seeds for reproduction make so many of them. It’s insurance. Some of the seeds may get eaten by birds and other critters. The seeds may get too wet and rot. After they start to germinate, they may dry out and die. But you can provide some protection by planting aronia seed in a cold frame or other enclosure.<br /><br />Before artificial refrigeration, natural cold was the best way, if not the only way, to provide the needed stratification. Now we can provide protection from critters and weather extremes with a refrigerator. The cold stratification process can also be more precisely controlled.<br /><br />So, using a refrigerator is better than natural cold treatment. Begin by pre-soaking your aronia seeds overnight. Then sow the seed close together in rows. The rows should be about one-half inch apart. The germination medium should be moist (but not wet), loose, well-drained, and disease free (pasteurized). After sowing the seeds, place the container in a plastic bag to keep the germination medium from drying out. Then place the container in a refrigerator and stratify the moist seeds for 3 to 4 months at 32 to 41 degrees Fahrenheit.<br /><br />Dr. Everhart<br />Dr. Eldon Everharthttp://www.hortconsulting.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823227541112032576.post-20628858122859388952013-09-23T07:13:12.838-07:002013-09-23T07:13:12.838-07:00I posted the earlier question but also meant to as...I posted the earlier question but also meant to ask this: Would it be better to plant seeds in terrariums now (Sept) and set outside where it can be stratified somewhat naturally, or refrigerate seeds and plant in terrariums in the spring to be transplanted to field in the fall or following spring.
