Over-dried seed will die. Seedlings may exhibit red leaves all season, red leaves going to green or all green leaves entire season. The usual % of red leaved seedlings is 50 %. Non desired seedlings may be removed from the seedbed after visual inspection. Red leaves may not fully show when grown in plastic or fiberglass greenhouses. Do not over-dry seed. |
| Germination info: |
Seed requires 90-120 days cold moist stratification. Printed literature states the requires 90-120 days cold moist stratification. We have been finding the last few years that the seed only requires 45 days stratification. Keep this in mind when planning your schedule. |
