What was name of the nursery?

Yeah ive got 4 scotts pines sprouting healthy and they were from a kit off amazon and germinated in a soil pellet, on a windowsill, in the not so sunny north of england

@@treesandtrainingwithjack508 Alright show off lol

Does they need cold startification mine says get it in freez for 10 weeks

Hey Katie, did you put the seeds in the refrigerator before? And if so for how long? Thx!

@@pedrodabelgica hi you won't need to do that no, sun light, soil and moisture will do the trick

Amazing to see people willing to plant 🌲 ❤️! I just got my seeds from eBay, so excited to plant my first 🌲

I just decided to get into bonsai yesterday/today! Any tips for a newbie? I’m gonna try and sprout some maple seeds today :)

@@acsmith3937 KZfaq is great place to start. Just search for the videos

AC Smith I recommend watching Nigel Saunders and Heron's bonsai. I've learnt so so much much, particularly from Nigel.

@@acsmith3937 I think the number one thing you need to have is lots of Patience you'll probably have to wait a good 5 years before you can actually start the process of creating your bonsai. I suggest buying a Procumbens Nana (juniper ) to start of with very hardy tree . Good luck with your Bonsai!

Congratulations! I am the same way and there is nothing that makes me happier than planting trees! I have a reforestation project video coming soon so stay posted!

over poured water caused the roots rotten brother,its the same issue for me too,haha

Have not gave

I would try bigger pots for sure

Thank you! The pine saplings are relatively the same size but look nice and healthy. Most pine trees drop fresh pine cones full of seeds during the fall time. That being said i recommend you find a grove of the pine species you are looking to grow and collect the most fresh looking cones. After collecting you gather the actually seeds by tapping the cone on a hard surface and the seeds come out attached to little flakes. Since they have been out all winter you should be able to plant them straight away and have a seedling sprouting this spring! I will be posing a video soon on how to extract pine seeds from cones so stay tuned. Best of luck to you my friend!

@@greenthinking7247 Thank you. I'm looking forward to it.

Thank you so much for what you do

Pines of one of the most adaptive species of trees growing almost any kind of soil. I would always recommend planting a a well mixed soil, with organic matter such as manure or hummus but they can grow just fine in very poor quality soils such as clay or sandy soil.

@@greenthinking7247 Alright, thanks. I also noticed some seeds in the same cone are considerably smaller than others. I would say the bigger have more potential to sprout?

Surprisingly I have found that is actually not the case. The size of the seed really has no affect on the sprout potential. @@Carniolan

@@greenthinking7247 Good to know, ty

You will want to wait for them to crack open by drying them in a sunny window or a food dehydrator. *DO NOT SOAK THEM IN WATER* once they open, a few seeds will likely fall out on their own, but you will need to peel each scale off individually beginning with the smallest ones around the stem (bottom) of the cone. The majority of the seeds will likely be underdeveloped. Seperate the largest seeds and throw the rest out. Then water test them. Whatever is left should be healthy viable seed. I'm not familiar with larches, but for pines and cedars, I'm happy if I get 5 good seeds out of one cone.

If you are placing the pines outside for natural stratification, I would recommend extracting the seeds first and planting them into pots. But if what your asking is what to do if your stratifying the seeds now (springtime) and they will be ready come the natural winter season, I would suggest planting them into pots and growing them inside over the winter months. The first year for any tree is very important and the best thing to do is monitor them. Many lightbulbs at home depot and Lowes can be used fro growing plants, I suggest looking up certain brands and buying one.

Green Thinking okay, thanks! Yeah I’m stratifying then right now.

Hope I answered your question!@@Rainier214

Jim Rowton So only one out of 11 has survived (9 didn’t pop up, 1 died early on). The surviving one took a bit of a beating over summer and from a recent thunderstorm that dropped some small hail but it’s a tough little guy and staying alive.

@@Rainier214 ... I didn’t know about stratifying and tried to germinate them between two wet paper towels. One year I got two to germinate but lost them once I put them in a pot. On another occasion one germinated but lost it will it was still in the paper towels. Tuff to get anywhere with those Ponderosa’s. Good luck to you and if you learn any tricks shoot me back a reply.

Congrats! I would suggest just planting the seeds vey gently and placing a small amount dirt over them and seeing what happens.

Just planted same seeds. How are they looking for you?

Sounds like you doing the right steps, I'm not familiar with Italian cypress but I would suggest a google search on germination for that plant :)

Good question. Anyone know??

I'd leave them outside. Pines will be fine in cold weather. Also just to point out you only need to stratify seeds this way if you live somewhere where you dont get cold winters. Here in the UK i just throw seeds in pots in Autumn and leave them in a shed over winter. They go through stratification process and germinate naturally all by themselves.

yep

Hello! biggest thing to do is to make sure the soil isn't oversaturated.

yeah

Thanks!

Yes you do or else they will not germinate

yep that's how they do it on large scale

couple months

@@greenthinking7247 Thanks, I did and now they're in soil but haven't sprouted yet hope I didn't mess something up

Doing well! They are the same size still but are looking healthy. I've realized some saplings sprout quick, especially pines, but take a while to really get rooted and established before they grow more.

Hey green thinking if I pick cones that have been out all winter all I would have to do is jus dry them harvest the seeds and plant them right?

@@megamaxes Yes that should be it! There are a variety of factors that play into if the sees are healthy and will sprout but they should overall be germinated and ready to go.

I don't like those we have so many here in my state in north India.

pine tree seeds are attached to the under sides of the pine cone flaps. Collect a large amount of cones as the yield can be very low and tap against a hard surface where you can collect the seeds from. I plan to make a video on this process in the future!

Breeding has to be done after several years of the tree growing its sexual parts to pollinate. Breeding is very interesting and not too difficult, it just requires established pine trees!

now you take them out and plant them and they should sprout after several days!

@@greenthinking7247 ok. I got worried cuz I thought they were suppose to sprout in the fridge.

no

I agree, my friend. We definitely destroy our beautiful plant way to much and too fast. God's most beautiful creations are in nature and that why I care so much about it. :)

In hinduism they named good trees after gods and banned their cutting more than 2 thousand years ago giving scientific reasons to claim that they were holier but i don't see western people caring about that either in India trees are usually not cut unless there is an absolute emergency or some construction work on government land my uncle and my dad planted over 1000 trees in their life time and i planted many trees on road side most of em survived and many are mature but i just bought 100 seeds of cedrus deodara (divine timber/tree) which is why i had to watch this video.

But proper pruning can help the tree live longer and healthier. The longer a tree lives the more it can reproduce. Cuttings can be grown to make even more trees. Some aspects of religion are quite dated but i get the message.

A bit but the voice is comprehensible.

Did you put them through stratification?

No I planted them right away when I got the seeds
