Question about Cotyledons
Hi There,
I am new to this group and a first time poster. I live in Fremont, CA (near San Jose), and it is still raining here. I started some seeds indoors using the APS system and planted the following: Camp Joy Aunt Ruby's Yellow Cherry Black Cherry Beefsteak Kellogg's Breakfast Purple Cherokee Mortgage Lifter Bi-Color Camp Joy, Aunt Ruby are up and running now, and so is Black Cherry.....but I am a little concerned about the cotyledons on the Black Cherry. Compared with the others that have sprouted so far, which are similar cherry type varieties, the leaves are rather small, one side of the cotyledon leaf looks a little fried, and slightly yellow. My question is should I pull it and start over with this one or is it just a slow start? Thanks in advance. Tom |

You could start another one of the wierd looking seedling for
a backup, but I would not judge it as survival challenged until after you see the first couple of sets of true leaves. A lot of times the cotyledons get crinkled up elbowing their way out of the seed coat.
