Comments: |
Hard seed coat inhibits germination. A short cold stratification will improve germination % and speed / uniformity of germination once the seed coat has been scarified. If you stratify a non scarified seed nothing will happen as the hard seed coat will not allow the entry of water. Some of the seeds will be scarified in the cleaning process. |
Germination info: |
Seed requires a scarification prior to sowing followed by a cold moist stratification. Minimum of 30 days cold stratification but some growers will do longer. |
|
A Trial Packet contains a minimum of 5 - 30 seeds depending on the size of the selected seed.
