Hey guys,
Remember my topic on trees?
Trees Selection. Need Your Help Thanks to all the friends helped. I got my seeds after a month of waiting with worrying(seeds didn't have any certificate) . But finally i got them.
ARBUTUS menziesii
Pacific MadroneQuercus macrocarpa Southern
Red OakQuercus rubra
Bur OakUlmus americana
American ElmPlatanus occidentalis
SycamoreCarya illinoinensis - wild collection
Pecan Celtis occidentalis
Common HackberryCedrus deodara
CedarCedrus libani
Lebanon CedarTaxodium huegelii
Cypress As a complete ignorant on these stuff, i have a couple questions for you.
1- Almost all of the seeds require cold stratification. Is just sealing and putting them in the refrigerator, enough? I read different things about moisture in the bag. Should i moisten them or should they remain completely dry? Am i supposed to add sand or something like that in the bag? Some sources recommend that.
2- I understand that i should scarify the seeds too. But is this before or after the stratification.
3- Check out the 2nd picture i shared. Even though acorns must be stratified too, i see that this one has a little bud coming out. Do you think it still needs stratification?
4- I should keep the seeds inside the house until they have leaves. But then what? Leave outside, so they can have sun? But it is cold out there
( Temp Zone 8B here ) . What to do?
Thanks .
