I'm living at the Newforest Institute in Maine [www.newforestinstitute.org]. We've got a young forest garden, and the seaberry bushes are a few years old, and the females are cranking out gorgeous berries.
I'd love to juice these and simultaneously save their seeds to make some new starts. Does anyone have any recommendations or experience with this?
Hey Steven,One way to remove seeds is to put some duct tape around a blenders blades and blend/pulverize the fruit.The seeds should seperate by sinking ect...Seaberry seeds need a period of cold stratification so fall plant some or stratify in a refridge or ...
There is nothing permanent in a culture dependent on such temporaries as civilization.
True enough,if you want to plant them,you can probably leave them in the fruit.Autumn olive has done well for me this way.It seems that they are watery and actually burst when squeezeed so perhaps just pressure like a cider press would do it.Also a food mill even a basic apple sauce hand mill might do it as well.

hey does anyone know what variety of seaberry is tastiest? or what are you favorites? I see alot of posts of people who bought some plants a few years ago... what are your results?
