I can't seem to get any seed out of my A. tongaensis, so I can understand where you're coming from. I actually don't mind hybrid seeds; I'm trying to create a few hybrids this winter myself. I have some 2+ year old ramosissima cuttings that don't look like they're going to make it, so I'm figuring maybe seeds are a more reliable way of propagation. I'm located in Anaheim.

Don't give up on the A. ramosissima cuttings. Sometimes they grow and sometimes they don't. I have two sizable cuttings that were gopher gnawed. They are just looking vigorous now after maybe 5 to 6 years. I will be going to the OCCSS winter show this year I hope. If so I can bring one of my A. dichotoma juveniles for you. It is etoliated but would bulk up if planted in the ground. I think Anaheim would be a favorable environment for it. Check out Silverhill Seeds in SA or Mesa Gardens in NM for Aloe seeds at reasonable prices. I have gotten A. ram and A. barb seeds from Silverhill in the past.

I'm not sure I'll be attending the OCCSS winter show, but I really appreciate the offer. Seeds are what I'm most interested in growing at the moment; I like the experience and watching them grow. I've been looking at Silverhill and I have to say I'm a bit confused, I can't seem to find how many are in each packet. If any pods pop up on your dichotoma or ramosissima that you can part with, let me know if I can purchase them. If not, I'll try out Silverhill.

I will keep checking.
