Shelf Life : Best planted within 1 year for maximum germination
Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
Soak the seeds in warm water for 24-48 hours to help soften the seed coat and improve germination rates.
Stratify the seeds by placing them in a moist medium (such as sand or peat moss) in the refrigerator for 60-90 days to mimic natural winter conditions.
Sowing:
After stratification, sow the seeds 1/2 inch deep in seed-starting trays or pots filled with a well-draining potting mix.
Lightly cover the seeds with soil and water gently to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
Germination:
Place the trays or pots in a warm location with indirect light.
Maintain consistent moisture and warmth, around 70-75°F (21-24°C), for optimal germination.
Germination can take several weeks to a few months, so be patient and keep the soil consistently moist.
Transplanting:
Once seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, transplant them into larger pots or directly into the garden.
Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.
Space the young trees at least 15-20 feet apart to allow for their mature size.
Care and Maintenance:
Water the young trees regularly during their first few years to establish a strong root system.
Mulch around the base of the tree to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Prune as needed to remove dead or damaged branches and to shape the tree.
