Comment on Giant Sequoia Cold Seed Stratification by Lucero

Ken - thank you very much for the tip. I never would have guessed there was a difference! I may wait until next fall to plant the white pine since by the time stratification is finished it will be too warm and they may fry :(. Lucero’s last blog post..Snow in April

This one was snapped in half last fall by a squirrel, and had not shown any new signs of growth until just recently. If it survives I will probably keep it no higher than a foot in height.

How tall will this little guy get? Seems small for being 320 days old.

Hi, I am enjoying your blog and would like to follow it, I am fascinated by Bonsai, but have never had luck, with the few, that I have had. Also, starting from seed, is also very interesting to me. Pete Pete’s last blog post..A trip to see my daughter and grandkids.

I really like the picture of this so young Jouquin. Hope it will grow & its tiny roots will evolve into a strong root system

Thanks everyone for stopping by.

@Lucero: There is good news and bad news. The good news is the blue spruce seeds don’t need any stratification, you can go ahead and plant them immediately.

The bad news is that without a moist medium, it only counts as storage and not stratification. Your white pine seeds are going to need 60 days of cold stratification.

Hope this helps!

My husband loves to plant. he has trees in our backyard. but some do not grow fast because of the dry soil in summer. I do not think he can grow Giant Sequoia here. Mharms’s last blog post..Advanced Shopping Search Engine
