Wildbloomers said: Yes I got seedpods and after the requisite 60 days they still showed no signs of maturing. Eventually after more than 90 days the seedpod split so even though it was still fleshy, not drying out, I harvested 60 seeds. I set them out in a covered tray as is my norm and had dismal results. Only three germinated. In retrospect maybe I should have waited to sow the seeds until after the temps got higher. They got about 3/4" tall and made their first true leaves and then just stopped. It's been a couple of months now and they are still the same size and haven't made any progress. I'm still hopeful! FYI this is in response to the hand pollination of the multi petaled peach (no pollen) with the pollen from a multi petaled yellow.

My natural formed seedpods from
Xmas Santa (similar look to your fighter fish), also had a dismal germination rate. They ripened winter time but then started to turn brown. The seeds didn't look like they had a chance to dry up or plump up. I have 5 seedlings and the ones I reserved and planted this spring had the same poor germination rate.

On one hand, I am disappointed but on the other hand I feel somewhat relieved I don't know what I will do with another 100 seedlings.
