Chickasaw plum seeds available

<< < (3/3)

Galatians522:
To germinate plum (or any prunus really) reliably, place the seed in a vice and crack the seed coat. You should just hear the "crack." If you do it right, it does not damage the seed inside. Then, remove the seed coat and you will see that the seed inside looks like a tiny almond. Place the seeds in moist pearlite (or damp paper towel if you are cheap like me) in a Ziploc bag in the fridge and plant in the soil when they develop an 1/8" root (about a month or so later). I have never tried without stratification. Germination is almost 100% with this method.

D-Grower:
I just clean the chickasaw seeds and stratify. They come out of their shells super easy on their own. I don't crack them or anything. If you just let them sit in the fridge they will begin to sprout at about 1-2 months and just plant as they sprout.

D-Grower:
Bunches of cleaned seeds available now. Stratification started already too. Hit me up!

D-Grower:
Still bunches of seeds available for the plums. Nearing a month into stratification as well. Usually 2-3 months will suffice. They often sprout in the fridge and you can plant as that happens or just give them that stratification time period and plant.
