Common name | Paperbark Maple Tree |

Species | Acer griseum |
Germination | The seeds need scarification, so soak them in hot tap water and let them stand in water for 24 / 48 hours. Place seed in baggie with moistened medium (peat and sand) and warm stratify for 120 days. Check the seed coat as the outer layer should be easy to remove. Sow 7 mm deep in moist peat/sand mix and cold stratify (or place baggie in fridge) for 120 days. They will germinate under spring like conditions so after the cold period move them where the temperature is about 20C. If the seed coat is too hard, it may take 2 years for the seed coat (or skin) to soften enough for the embryo to escape. If you allow the stratified seed to dry out, it will kill the embryo. The seed should germinate in 30-365+ days. It can take longer, up to 2 years, so don?t give up. Be patient! |
