Comments: |
This seed is de-hulled or removed from the surrounding seed wing. This seed is collected from the Northern range of the species. Does not do well in Southern range sowing as the seed will germinate then just sit and not grow. This occurred for growers in TX. A short cold stratification will increase the speed and uniformity of germination. Soak in water at room temperature 12 hours prior to sowing. Indoors media temperature 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit preferred. Seed stored 5 years cold and dry germinated at 45% as a test run. This tree is adaptable to a wide range of conditions. Does well in poor soil, city planting etc. . Wide range of Fall colors. Growth rate responds well to proper cultural practices. |

Does not require a pre-treatment |
