Are these real plants or do they come from genetically modified frankenstrains?

no one seems to be able to give a direct straight up yes or no answer, so my guess is its gmo.

A quick google search on the subject reveals some facts, that probably answers this question for us. #1, there are currently no commercially available GMO strawberries on the market. So theres your answer, these should be non-GMO. Does not mean they are organic though, the mother plant may have been sprayed with pesticides, etc. #2, While there HAVE been field trails for GMO strawberries, And it is possible for these field trails to contaminate non-GMO fields sometimes, this is not likely for strawberries, since strawberries don't spread and reseed as easily as other crops that they do have that issue with, such as wheat. I think we are safe.

Hi Donald, These arrive as live plants; moist bare-root. If you need to know the genre and species its best you take it up with the seller. GMO or Not, I have had some success with these bearing hardy strawberries, which are very flavorful. The time from arrival into the ground is crucial. I am in southeast FL, so I can grow these year round. Not sure what frankenstrain is, but these are hardy, bare-root starter clumps, and after 10 minutes of soaking in warm water, they had already opened there leaf buds. Within 90 days I had fruit, albeit sparse but now I have plenty and need to check for ripe ones every few days. I ordered 25 but the grower actually sent 33 clumps. I lost 5 or so In the process. I am so satisfied, I am going to add more next fall. Read up on the intensive bedding set-up and care they require before you buy. Prep your planting area in advance of their arrival. "Heavy Feeders." Best of Luck Greg

I do believe they are real plants, not modified, they produced fruit the same year I planted them,

Answer to James: They probably just don't know. Most GMO are specifically sold to farmers for large plantations, and sold as Roundup-Ready or engineered to resist some pest or disease. Most "modified" for taste/size fruit or vegetables are actually just crosbred naturally, either by cross pollination or grafting. so in all likelyhood they are probably not GMO. Spray them with some roundup and see if they die LOL. (I kid)

They were when I ordered them from this particular seller on amazon. I believe they are called Smallflower.....?

They are not listed as organic, but they are an Heirloom seed. Therefore, they are not modified, but remain true to the original plant and can be saved as seed and replanted.

As someone whom bought approx 6 packets from them... yea tgey are for real. Boabab tree are hard to germinate as usually an animal eats the seeds and that is what breaks the seed case down... because of this germination rates are uaually lower. (I deal with plants for a living and almost alwats have one or two in a group that do not germinate).Yes they are real and yes you can grow them!

I can't answer this directly, but these are BIG plants with gorgeous, intensely orange big blooms. These are definitely not the dwarf marigolds that I was familiar with before.

No. This type of chile was created through plant breeding techniques. Crossing specific peppers plants together and selecting the ones they want. GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms)are plants that have a gene (ex. herbicide resistance) from another organism (bacteria) and it is put into the plant of interest.

http://www.bobsredmill.com/faqs.html#GP4 Are your products genetically modified? No. All of our products originate from identity-preserved, non-GMO seeds. This means that the seed planted in the ground is non-GMO. We do not guarantee the complete absence of GMO materials in our products because of wind drift, pollinators and our lack of testing equipment.

They claim to make only non-GMO products on the Aloha Medicinals website. Although I am no mycologist, I am going to say that no, this product is not genetically modified. The term hybrid only refers to the mix of strains used to culture the mushrooms.

OMG! I have just noticed your message! so sorry, they are high! If you want genetically modified, please do not order it. Thanks for your attention! :) so sorry for your waiting! Merry Christmas!:)

It does not say on the package but it has a label from Ecosert SA. I Google searched that, and it's an organic certification company based in South Africa, so perhaps they are grown there. It does specify on the package that they were packaged in the United States.

I think no, I reviewed the packaging and it doesn't say any where that it is genetically modified. Ingredients include: water, soybean, rice, salt and alcohol

I have no idea if they are "real"; most important, they are not fertile. I used premium planting soil and Miracle Grow, and not one seed sprouted.

It isn't listed on the package, but on their website FAQs: "Are your products genetically modified?No. All of our products originate from identity-preserved, non-GMO seeds. This means that the seed planted in the ground is non-GMO.

In my case it grew into a wild strawberry not black. I have a lot of very fragrant small red berried. I think you right are about the scam! They came directly from the woods as wild as could be.

I was concerned about this too and did a bit if research. What I read about these seeds had led me to believe that they aren't GMO. Hope this helps.

chances are this is manufactured from rooster combs (an actual rooster comb, not a plant called "rooster comb")
