Hi all, I'm trying to grow some Cloudberry from seed. I've tried nicking the seeds, GA3 Acid, Stratification, you name it, i've done it. But yet still nothing has happened. Could anyone offer me advice as to how I can get this plant to grow from seed? Thanks

Found this site which might suggest ways to improve your chances:

perhaps the final paragraph?
I suspect it is one of those things that needs planting outside, in suitable conditions, (do you live somewhere cold and swampy?) and a lot of patience, maybe taking a year or even longer to grow.
Maybe needs to go through a bird
In the sticks near Peterborough
Info here sounds very difficult, Like the cloudberry Jam though my eldest son lives in Sweden and aways bring some back

You've set yourself a bit of a challenge. In UK it only grows from Derbyshire northwards on high moors and bogs, and is more generally found in bogs and forests further north in this hemisphere. If you do get it going it will be interesting trying to keep it going!
Might just grow for me, I garden within those parameters, but I'd have to keep the sheep off it. They make short work of the bilberries!
I need to find someone with a plant and hopefully buy some cuttings, fingers crossed. If you know anyone, please dont hesitate to give me a shout
Swallow the seeds and then let nature take it's course!
