Hundreds of cultivars are grown around the world as an ornamental and specimen tree for their dramatic leaf shapes and colors, and are widely used in bonsai. Instructions Information how to germinate mapel tree seeds… The real “secret” to germinating maple tree seeds is to use fresh seeds. This article will reveal to you the tips to yield nearly 100% germination rates… 1 Get fresh, new season seeds either by picking them up off the ground under a tree or purchasing them online… 2 Allow the seeds to stratify. Stratification is the scientific term used to describe allowing the seed to experience an extended period of cold for at least 90-120 days – as if the seed has been through a winter period after falling naturally off the tree… 3 Store the seeds in a zipper bag for at least 90-120 days in the refrigerator… 4 Look at the seeds from time to time and make sure they are not becoming dry. If needed, add a drop or two of water, every few weeks, so that the seeds do not dry out… 5 Use a fungicide very sparingly. If you see mold develop treat with a fungicide, following the manufacturer’s directions, or use a weak solution of bleach (1 part bleach to 10 parts water)… 6 At the end of the period of cold storage, the seeds should germinate naturally in the zipper bag in the fridge… 7 Transplant the seedlings as they germinate, planting the emerging rootlet in a seed compost. A coir (coconut husk) growing medium works well… 8 An alternative method is to plant the seeds in a pot immediately after they fall from the tree. Use approximately ten seeds in a 25 centimeter (9.8 in) pot. This is because not all of them will sprout. Leave the pot in an area where it will get normal rainfall and snowfall. If it starts to get too dry you may want to water it. That fall or the next spring you should have some seedlings sprout… Shipping Information item will be posted same day if not next day depending on time ordered we offer free royal mail 2nd class delivery 2-3days arrival or royal mail 1st class for extra £0.50 1-2days arrival if royal mail is delayed item can take extra few days to arrive note to international buyers items can sometimes take longer than usual depending on customs delay Returns Information if customers are not 100% happy with item we offer returns up to 30days after item purchased once we receive goods back to us we then refund payment also refund delivery costs back to you if returning unwanted goods postage cost will not be refunded please note returns is not accepted for self damaged goods Store Categories Plants/ Seeds/ Bulbs Clothing, Shoes & Accessories Temporary Tattoos Jewellery Balloons Other Links About Us Feedback Add Us Newsletter Contact Contact Us If you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact us through ebay messages only.
