The best way to grow Spicebush is
to collect the red berries in the fall, delicately chew the flesh off the seeds
so you don't crush the seed, and eat it, take the seed and plant it. It should
germinate by the upcoming spring. The taste of the berry will linger with you
for a while, but it freshens your breath and leaves a nice spicey flavor behind.

American plum
germinates more consistently following cool, moist stratification at 36 to 41
degrees F (2.2-5 deg C) for 90 to 150 days. Stratified seed should be
planted 1 to 2 inches (2.5-5 cm) deep in
the spring or fall; for nursery culture, seeds should be sown at the rate of
four seeds per square foot. Seed viability is estimated to be
approximately 5 years. This species can also be successfully propagated
via stem cuttings.

Poke Weed (Phytolacca
Poke Weed is a
perennial plant that grows good in average soils in direct sun or partial shade
and is hardy in growing zones 4-9. For best germination results, soak the
seeds in sulfuric acid solution for 5 minutes. Poke seeds germinate best
in the wild after being passed through a bird's digestive system. Birds love the
berries, but they are poisonous to humans so do not eat the seeds. Poke
greens should be picked early in the spring before they get over 4-6" high. Boil
in two changes of water before using in your recipe.

Seed
germination for citron melon and watermelons:
There is no
seed dormancy in cultivated seed- and watermelons, but germination is retarded
under high temperature regimes. Germination can be accelerated by pre-soaking in
water for 24 hours after scarifying the seed at one end, especially for
cultivars which have a hard seed coat. Seed germinates best at temperatures of
17°C at night and 32°C at daytime and also at a constant temperature of 22°C. It
will not germinate at temperatures below 15°C. Light has an inhibitory effect. (van
der Vossen et al., 2004)
Growth, development and
pollination:
Seed will remain viable for at
least 8 years when stored dry at temperatures below 18°C. Emergence of the
seedling takes 5–7 days. Cotyledons unfold after 10–12 days and the first true
leaf appears one week later. In egusi melon lateral branches are produced on the
main stem from node 4–6 and the first male flower is formed on node 8–11 at
35–50 days after sowing, the first female flowers on node 15–25 at 45–60 days
after sowing. In watermelon both the first male and female flowers are formed
somewhat later. The first female flowers often have poorly developed ovaries and
fail to set fruit. Flowering peaks 50–80 days after germination. Flowers open
shortly after sunrise and remain open only one day. Pollination occurs in the
morning and is done by insects, predominantly bees. Ample deposition of pollen
on all three stigmas is necessary for regular fruit development. Within 24 hours
after pollination the pedicel starts to elongate and bends downward with the
swelling ovary. The fruits of watermelon are mature 30–50 days after
pollination. At maturity the green fruit stalk turns brown.

spring in a greenhouse. Germination usually takes place within 3 - 4 weeks at
20°c[138]. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into
individual pots and grow them on in a greenhouse for at least their first
winter. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early
summer, after the last expected frosts.

Deciduous;
Exposure Sun to partial shade, soil, all types. Drought tolerant. Grows 10 to 15
ft. vine. Light green flowers in summer turn to shiny, dark red berries in the
fall and stay on the vine into winter. This vine is a rapid grower, has dark
green glossy leaves. Attracts birds.
Carolina
Moonseed is a deciduous vine native to most of the states in southeastern
Blooming Time:
Spring. The flowers are very small and inconspicuous. These mature into showy
fruits in late summer-fall, forming bright red ¼ inch berries.
Culture:
Cocculus
carolinus
need partial shade and moderately wet soil conditions. When grown in the
greenhouse, use a soil mix consisting of 2 parts peat moss to 2 parts loam to 1
part sand or perlite. The plant should be kept moist at all times during the
growing season. Fertilize monthly with a balanced fertilizer. It gets very large
in pots, so pruning is needed to keep it within bounds. Pruning should be done
in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Propagation:
Cocculus carolinus is propagated by cutting of half-ripened wood or by
seed. The seed need cold stratification of 3 months. Seeds germinate in 21-30
days at 68° F.
