I would love to have some takil seeds or plants. I have 2 of what I thought were takil and they even look like takil in appearance. I do not protect them much in winter and they have minimal leaf damage but I would love to compare the 2 species I may have Naintal. I do not think they will send seed or plants to Canada.

Are you going to sandpaper the seeds, Damir?
Thanks for great pics and the book excerpt.
Good to know the germination point.

Here is one of the many photos from Alex's expedition:
These Takils are located near the Kalamuni Pass in India, around 2500 m in altitude.
