GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

- Soak seeds 48 hrs. Start with hot water, then let them sit at room temperature. Follow with 45-60 days cold, moist stratification. For more information on stratification, check out our article "How To Stratify Your Tree Seeds".

*If you do the cold period in your fridge, please check on your seeds. 60 days is an estimate & they may sprout sooner.*

- Plant stratified seed in pots or a nursery bed using standard potting soil. Heat mats are NOT required & can hinder germination!

- Protect young tree seedlings from slugs, cutworms & rodents. Slugs especially can eat primary leaves as soon as they come up, so be vigilant!
