Germination/Propagation Top

Suggest a correction or add new data!
Expose seeds to natural outdoor winter conditions for 3 months, then gradually increase light and temperature in the spring.
Pulpy Coat Inhibits Germination: Seeds with a pulpy or fleshy outer coat need to have this material removed by soaking and rinsing in clean water daily for about a week. The inhibitory substances in the pulp are thus washed away, and germination rates improve.
Sow seeds immediately as their viability decreases rapidly, or they best germinate when fresh. If stored, seeds might need temperature cycling and patience to germinate.
stored seed unlikely to germinate
