Germination/Propagation Top

Suggest a correction or add new data!
Alternate between 4°C and 20°C for 3 months each, over several cycles, with an extended germination period.
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.
soak in hot water for 24 hours to scarify, stratify at 4°C.
