    The fortamino packet said it contained 10 seeds with likely 80% germination, but mine actually had 11 seeds and 100% have sprouted! Very excited to see what happens with my first attempt at grafting this season

    These seeds are not good. Do not recommend. I grew them exactly according to instructions on packet, with adequate heat from a heat mat, and supplemental uv lamp. I also used pots from epic gardening to grow these. They are weak seedlings, falling over, molding. My heirlooms look 100x better. I have no idea how these could support grafting, it was a waste of $10. Save your money!
