    General germination instructions


    First step : Scarification Seeds need to be scarified to facilitate germination. Place seeds in hot water for 24-48hr, let water cool down. As an option, you can renew the hot water after 24hr. Second step : Stratification Optionnal : Warm stratification at room temperature for 60 days. ( See specifics instructions for requirement ) Place seeds in moist medium ( sand or peat ) in a Ziplock bag or a container. Seeds must go in dormancy for 90-120 days before being ready for germination. To achieve dormancy, you place your ziplock containing the seeds in the fridge. Third step : Sowing After the stratification period, seeds can now be sow outside or in container.

    The natural way : Sow in fall As an option, you can sow the seeds in fall, leaving to nature the scarification and stratification process. These steps will achieve themselves in winter, and the next spring you should have seedlings, as soon as the weather allows it.
