Seed Germination Instructions
Remove the seeds from the bag about 100 days before your planting date. The ideal planting time is in early spring after your area’s last frost date. Put the seeds in a heat-proof container and pour hot water over them. The water temperature should be no higher than 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
Allow the maple seeds to soak for at least 24 hours or up to two days. Drain the water and place the seeds in a plastic bag filled with potting soil, sand or peat. Moisten the mixture with a small amount of water. Poke a few small holes in the bag to allow for air circulation. Put the bag of seeds in the refrigerator for approximately 100 days. This stratification process breaks down the seed coats and prepares them for germination.
When you remove the seeds, you may see small roots growing from the tips, indicating that the seeds have begun to germinate. Fill 4-inch pots with potting mix and sow the seeds on the surface of the soil. Cover seeds with three-eighths inch of soil. Water the seeds until the soil feels moist. Let the soil dry out before watering again to prevent rotting. Watch for seedling emergence with one to two weeks. When seedlings emerge, provide light shade to prevent burning.
Important, Please read
All seeds have been test sown to ensure germination. Please familiarize yourself with growing conditions and instructions for your seeds before you plant them, as all seeds are different.
We Cannot Guarantee how much you will be able to grow, as too many variables come into play, soil condition, your ability to garden, weather etc. I guarantee that they arrive as described and are in good viable condition and the germination rates are accurate.
