[SEL] Henry Ford Plans

[Bill Brueck]

I remember having read that, too, when I was trying to get some started
several years ago.  As I recall the roughing up of the seeds when the cattle
chewed them was of some benefit to the process as well.

If I were to pursue this theory I think I'd let nature take it's course and
develop a good eye for the seedlings and transplant them as soon as I
recognized them growing in the pasture!

I read online, with a brief Google search, that these things have been
propagated by feeding the fruit to cattle and collecting the recycled seeds
with a diaper attachment of sorts on the bovines. The digestive process
activates the seed for germination. Just passing along what I read. It was
on the Net, so it must be true!
