How to successfully Grow Glazenuts... a guide

I have been successful in my efforts to grow Glazenuts in our garden.

1st... you need the correct seeds and soil.

Seeds you need to harvest... via Botanist...
Honey Lemon Seeds - Costa Del Sol - 5am-8am - Slot 1
Prickly Pineapple Seeds - Costa Del Sol - 9am-12am - Slot 1

Soil you need to harvest... via Miner...
Grade 3 Thanalan Topsoil - Hozion (x18 y28 area) - 5am-8am - Slot 8
(you need 370 gathering + 332 perception to be able to gather these)

You need to get yourself some Apricot seeds via cross-fertilization.
To do so... we need one garden bed that is formatted as follows...

H P H
P X P
H P H

P - Prickly Pineapple Seeds + Grade 3 Thanalan Topsoil
H - Honey Lemon Seeds + Grade 3 Thanalan Topsoil

Once this is harvested... you go on to plant the following bed now that you have Apricot seeds (should produce 3 of each)

P H A
H X P
A P H

A - Apricot Seeds + Grade 3 Thanalan Topsoil
P - Prickly Pineapple Seeds + Grade 3 Thanalan Topsoil
H - Honey Lemon Seeds + Grade 3 Thanalan Topsoil
X - Scarecrow

This garden bed (above) should produce both Royal Kukuru seeds and Apricot seeds

Those seeds should be planted alternating next to each other as follows (you will not end up with 8 sets... just showing you an ideal layout)

R A R
A X A
R A R

R - Royal Kukuru Seeds + Grade 3 Thanalan Topsoil
A - Apricot Seeds + Grade 3 Thanalan Topsoil

This will then produce Glazenut seeds which you plant and get 1 Glazenut.

If for some reason you run out of Apricot seeds for either bed... which will happen, you need to plant the 1st bed again to harvest more apricot seeds.
If you are just after Royal Kukurus seeds... those you can get with a bed of Honey Lemons and Apricots alternating.

So... those are the basics of growing Glazenuts. Rinse and Repeat as needed.

Thanks for the guide. I hope it works, because that's nearly three weeks of growing stuff! :)

Two important corrections: firstly when gathering the seeds they are in the 1st slot, not those you've listed. Secondly you don't need 370 Gathering or 332 Perception to gather them. They're on original Unspoiled Nodes and their gathering rate behaves the same as items from original 2.0 nodes. There is no minimum like the new nodes; you won't have a 0% with too low gathering and you could harvest them successfully with 0 perception. You just need to be level 46 to use Truth of Forests.

You do need 370 Gathering to get the Soil on Miner, however.

fixed. thanks.

Just Kukuru and Apricot confirmed for glazenuts? Not questioning your tests, just verifying because it seems like the various sources (spreadsheets) floating around include honey lemon too.

According to the Garden thread on BG forum, all cross-fertilizations are double cross only, there are not any triple cross in this game so far.

OP, thank you for the information/work, \(^o^)/

Ah, ok. Thank you for confirming, and a big thank you to the OP for sharing this. ^^

Just curious if anyone has a similar guide for producing jute.

Also.... why didn't the devs either make jute produce 3 or have the yarn only require 1. Nobody is wanting to put in the effort to grow 3 plants to end up with 1 yarn. Its kinda sad really.

not sure if its been updated or not but when going to the final stage of making the glaze you can crossbreed with apricots and get another set of glazenut seeds

Also you can possible get 8 seeds from one large patch in one round with right crossbreeds in place. I was successful in getting 2 royal k. and 4 apricots from one patch. using a format below where A was an apricot, P was prickly p and H was Honey Lemon.
Replacing the Honey lemon at the bottom with a Apricot seed might in fact produce a total of 4 apricot seeds and 4 royal K seeds from one garden. I also used lvl 2 thanalan top soil for the whole patch.

P A P
H X H
P H P

Still working on jute, believe its a cross with azeyma rose and nymeia similar to royal k and apricots.

Unfortunately the cross breed for Glazenuts doesn't seem to be 100%.

I haven't had any failed cross breeds with any other combinations before where the cross was previously confirmed. Obviously I have had failed experiments. :p What a pity! Three bags of Seeds is still decent though. I used Grade 3 Topsoil for every seed and they were all tended and fertilized in unison. Just letting people know it's not a 100% cross and to plan accordingly.

I'm not sure any cross is 100% -- when I did Grade 3 Thanalan with Almond x Honey Lemon to get Apricots, I got several bags of almond seeds in addition to the apricot kernels I was actually looking for. Clearly the Almond x Honey Lemon cross is valid (or I wouldn't have gotten any apricot kernels), but it definitely wasn't perfect.

the cross itself for some of these are confirmed but there is a percentage or RNG that determines if you get a seed or not. So Prickly pineapple and Honey lemons will always produce a Apricot seed as long as the RNG is met. You will not get another type of seed from this, or should not from what I've seen so far. There are some plants that can act as a mother/father though (produce seeds and cross breed) so getting 6-8 sets of seed are possible. There was also a note during a patch release that mentioned certain soul can increase the number of seeds obtained. Although Im not sure it includes G5 seeds like glazenuts/jute or broombush

Fair enough, just from personal experience (and there is a lot of that) I am yet to not get seeds with a 'confirmed' cross; this is the first time. What a lousy time for it to happen!

If fauna genetics were this strange we'd have... oh dear... the ideas... Lalagyn, Qiqir'te, Elebold...


Guess that's why Chimaera.

Thank you to the OP again! This worked out wonderfully and now our FC has no idea what to do with all of these glazenuts. :D

Star anise and almonds make jute.

You tested it? If so what produces star anise?

Linseed + Mandrake = Azeyma Rose
Azeyma Rose + Mandrake = Star Anise
Star Anise + Almond = Jute

Jute + Mandrake = Jute

Entire Jute pathway, other loops not yet discovered.

@Lyrinn: Any info on how to position seeds for each step and what soil to use, etc? Our FC gardener is away for 6 months for various reasons and he passed me any seeds he had so I'm sort of new to gardening. We have some glazenuts, but we need Jute now for our minions and skirts!

Order doesn't matter as long as they're alternating. That means in the first step, for example, you can do

L M L
M X M
L M L

or

M L M
L X L
M L M

(where L = Linseed, M = Mandrake, X = Scarecrow position if you're using the large garden bed)

Just make sure you plant them in order instead of planting all of one seed first, then planting the other. As for soil, either Grade 2 or Grade 3 Thanalan Soil for all.

So wait, what do u mean by jute + mandrake = jute ?
Do you mean, the jute already planted can intercross with the mandrake thus yeilding jute seeds when harvesting the mandrakes?

Yes, we call it intercross looping, you can do the same thing with Glazenut & Apricot -> Glazenut seeds from both fruits. There are various others, check out the big gardening thread when you got the time ^^

Awesome, thanks!
