Tracking Growth, Losses, and Release Decisions
Good records turn a collection into a learning system. They also make future releases more trustworthy for customers.
Track what customers will care about
Source, cultivar, age, pot size, cold response, fruiting notes, and growth habit help buyers understand what they are getting.
Record losses honestly
Losses are data. If a plant repeatedly struggles in your conditions, that should shape whether it stays, gets protected differently, or leaves the collection.
Separate mother stock from release plants
Not every plant should be sold. Some should stay for propagation, observation, fruit evaluation, or future breeding and comparison work.
Use notes to improve the next season
Repot dates, fertilizer changes, freeze outcomes, and pest issues help refine the collection year after year.
