Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation: No specific preparation required, but soaking seeds in water for 24 hours before planting can help break seed dormancy.

Sowing: 

Plant seeds in a prepared seedbed or directly into the ground in the fall or early spring. Sow seeds at a depth of 1/8 to 1/4 inch in moist, well-drained soil.

Germination: 

Germination can take several weeks to several months, so be patient. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting: 

Transplant seedlings into their permanent location when they are large enough to handle, typically when they have several sets of true leaves. Be gentle when handling the roots to avoid damaging them.

Care and Maintenance: 

Once established, Black Birch trees require minimal maintenance. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during periods of drought. Mulch around the base of the tree to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Happy gardening!
