Halfway Point...

Roughly half a month has passed since I started the Cold Stratification of most of the seeds that are yet to be planted, and the Common Larch needs a month! I will be away for the weekend after next, but I think the seeds will be fine with another week or so in the fridge... Looking forward to getting more seeds in the ground.

By then the Black Locust Tree seedlings should be ready to be transplanted into larger individual pots so that should free up 6 spots in the seed trays - more than adequate for the seeds to be planted.

Chinese Elm (Ulmus Parvifolia)

And wanted to grow the classic from some seeds, got some cousins for my existing tree...


These guys need 2 months in the fridge after soaking for 24-48 hours...


Quite a few seeds here, so if I'm lucky and most of them germinate I would like to grow them in various sizes and styles... A versatile species so should be interesting...


Anyway, they're in the fridge now, first stratification I've attempted... Wish me luck...
