It’s about this time of the year I like to plant some tree seeds (04/11/07). I think it’s best to let nature take it’s course and allow the changing of the seasons to bring your seeds to life. I know that a lot of people go through various strange methods of scarification, soaking, freezing, stratification, warming and so on. Quite frankly I can’t be bothered with all of that and a lot of it I don’t even understand as I’m sure lots of other people don’t either.
I find the best way is to get seeds at autumn time and drop them into pots. It’s the natural time of the year to do it, all you are doing is to move the seeds further from the parent.
So far I’ve planted paper bark maple, Japanese atropurpeum maple, hornbeam and yew. I intend to plant a few more different types this week and then play the waiting game until spring!
