10 AMERICAN PLUM TREE SEEDS (Prunus americana) Fast Fruit Hardy-Zone 3

Description: All seeds are fresh - there are no fillers or other weeds or seeds mixed in. Many have been harvested by hand. Plum germination: 1) Soak seeds for 24 hours in warm water. 2) Cold stratify seeds for 120 days. (Place seeds inside of a zip lock bag filled with moist vermiculite or peat moss. Periodically check to ensure they don't dry out. Mist them with a spray bottle when necessary, but never wet, just moist.) 3) Use a well mixed and well draining seed starting mix and plant seeds 1/2 inch deep. Also, you can try to plant them outside, when it’s warm enough. Some of them might germinate this year, and the rest of them will come out next spring. In this case stratification will occur naturally over the winter. 4) Use a heated propagator mat to keep soil temperature around 85 degrees F during the day. Turn off heated propagator at night letting temps drop to appx. 68 degrees. Giving alternating temperatures mimics their natural conditions and will greatly improve germination time. Use a grow lamp to provide bright light. Keep moist and expect germination to occur within 2-3 weeks.
