   I did manage to collect some black highbush blueberry and wild blueberry for seed saving.

   I saved the black blueberry last year and cold-stratified them outside by just burying the berries in pots and only one came up. This year I’m saving the seeds in the fridge in moist vermiculite to see if it works better.

     I went hiking yesterday on a trail that is lined with wild serviceberries.

     No serviceberries. 0. It looks like all the trees aborted the fruit before ripening as there is no trace of anything this year.

     My rooted cutting aborted its fruit but I didn’t think anything of it since it’s only 20cm tall. But all the wild trees? WTF

     The only thing I found were some dried fruit that looked like it came from last year.

     Mr. Bill repeated this.
