Are any members of the group interested in exchanging seeds in Pune?

[Ashwin Baindur]

Dear friends,

My college in Pune has a wonderful campus & many trees/plants/shrubs.

Recently, I have seen seeds of Gokarn (Clitorea terneata), African Blackwood (Dalbergia melanoxylon),  Chandan (Santalum album), Datura (Datura inoxia) etc besides the usual trees such as Amaltas (Cassia fistula), Gulmohar (Delonix regia), Vawla (Marathi) ( Holoptelea integrifolia), Sausage tree (Kigelia pinnata), Dolichandrone etc.

Is anyone interested in seeds for rearing plants?

Warm regards,

Ashwin Baindur

Balkarji, Maniji, I have noted your requirement for the seeds. I will collect them this week & get back later.

Rakeshji, I do not know if the trees you mentioned are there in our campus. I think not. Sorry.

Maniji, Chandan is a root parasite and requires supporting plants which it can parasitise. The tree is not beautiful but generally thin, dark. It also invites thieves who mistakenly cut it down at a young age. Chandan tree, I am told, requires to mature many years before its wood gets the sandalwood attributes. So it is really unsuitable to plant in the city. However I will send you the seeds as requested.

Warm regards,

Ashwin Baindur

Balkar jee & Mani jee, I have collected the seeds today and your seed packets are being despatched by registered post tomorrow. Please let me know if you have any seeds to send me back. If you dont have that is okay. Let me know the names. If I want any of them I will let you know.

Balkar jee, the round seeds are the Chandan while the smaller tablet shaped ones are from Kigelia pinnata.

Warm regards,

Dear Sir,
I was not able to write earlier, but i work with one NGO called Hariyali. I had send one write up regarding the seed soying on either side of highway from Thane till Dhule.Its a big project and we will require tons of seeds for it. I had thought if anyone in the group is interested and stay at any transit of the area to work may help us in this project.
Now how many seeds can you collect. How can i pick them up? do you know anybody who can help us.
We also have a nursary where we grow saplings too. Hariyali is working in this field for last 14 years. And has taken up many projects of water conservation and tree plantation. Has planted lacs and lacs of trees.
I will be in Pune on 1st May night and 2nd May for marriage. I have one or two students staying in Pune. They can collect the seeds from you.
if anything can be figured out i will be happy.
Madhuri

Dear Ms Raghavan, Dr Turaga, Dr Alfred, Mrs Pejaver

Sorry for the long silence. I was away for some time myself from Pune. When I came back, pre-monsoon showers wet many seeds s I had to wait for two-three days of good sunshine to collect seeds.

I have been able to collect small numbers of a variety of seeds but I could not get Dalbergia melanoxylon as the ripe ones had been dashed to the ground.

I am sending Ms Raghavan, Dr Turaga & Dr Alfred packets of the following seeds:

Trees :

• Neem (Azadirachta indica).
• Shisham (Dalbergia sissoo).
• Sausage Tree (Kigelia africana)
• Chandan (Santalum album)

Creepers :

• Gokarn (Clitoria terneata)
• Dutchman's Pipe or Badak-vel (Aristolochia ringens)
  

These are being sent by registered post to your addresses.

My father-in-law, Mr Nandan Kalbag tells me that the Aristolochia seeds have high failure rates, so I think that you may get about four-five plants max from the seeds I am sending you.

Mrs Pejaver, I have collected a large packet of Chandan seeds. I will now collect Karanj (Pongamia glabra) seeds for you. If the students you mentioned could contact me it would help me get the seeds before Monsoon. For your needs, I am trying to collect Indian species only.

I do hope you enjoy planting the seeds and getting saplings. Growing plants from seeds gives you happiness different from buying from Nurseries but is more challenging. I think these should be able to survive anywhere in the plains of mainland India.

Warm regards,

Ashwin Baindur
