Planting Instructions:
Soil Preparation:
Choose a clear, sunny location that is not in the shade of other trees. Trees establish roots better in sandy, well-drained soils rather than heavy, poorly drained soil. Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Till the soil 8-10 inches deep and rake several times to break up large clods. It is best to do this when the soil is dry enough to not stick to garden tools. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots.Planting:
Soak seeds 48 hours in hot tap water. Next, to cold-stratify, roll seeds in a damp paper towel and place in a resealable bag. Place the resealable bag in a refrigerator to keep the seeds at 35F for at least 90 days. To germinate the seeds after cold-stratifying, place bags in 70F-90F area. Check every other day. Once roots are visible, sow in moist potting soil and place in a sunny area that is at least 65F, or directly sow outdoors when soil is >65F. Sow seeds 1 inch deep in soil and keep soil moist until established. Seedbeds can be covered with plastic film to promote germination.
