| Germination | 1. Soak for a few hours in warm water. 2. Cold/moist stratify for 2 months at +2-+4C in the refrigerator (use moist vermiculite or other sterile soil and zip lock air tight bags). Also seed could be sown outside in autumn if possible, otherwise in late winter or early spring in a cold frame in light shade. Germination may be inhibited by light. Prick out the seedlings when they are large enough to handle into individual pots. Grow them on in a greenhouse or cold frame for their first winter and plant them out in late spring or early summer of the following year. Cuttings of half-ripe wood, July/August in a frame. |
