| Comments: | This is Imported Seed. Shells will begin to crack(open) in cold stratification when ready to germinate. Some growers will do a 30-60 day warm stratification prior to the cold treatment or Fall sowing. Sowing stratified seed into high temperature soils will induce a secondary dormancy which will inhibit seed germination. Soak seed in water for 48 hours and change every twelve hours prior to sowing or stratifying. The seed pits absorbs a material from the pulp which inhibits germination. This may be leached out by warm stratification, soaking in water or leaving in a cloth bag in running water for up to several weeks. Sowing the seed outside in late Summer will allow Mother Nature to do the stratification for you. |

| Germination info: | Seed requires 30-60 days warm stratification followed by 90-120 cold. Soak in water at room temperature for 48 hours & change the water after 24 hours prior to the warm stratification. A few drops of Lemon Juice in the water will improve the results |
| A Trial Packet contains a minimum of 5 - 30 seeds depending on the size of the selected seed. |
