HELP! Why can't I grow an avocado tree from seed!?
Comments (35)I have been looking at propagation from stem cuttings, and it seems that it is superior to the seed method because you get a genetic clone and it grows into a fruiting tree in four years instead of 10. There appears to be a group of people who use pieces of aloe vera plant to stick the stems into before burying in soil. Apparently, it is a natural root hormone. I definitely am going to try it because I have aloe vera growing in my yard, and I don't want to search for root hormone and shell out money when I have a potentially equivalent product at home. I also already have two grafted avocado trees. They are small, and I had already cut back the Fuerte, but I still haven't pruned the Mexicola Grande. I might use that pruned leader as a test. The Mexicola Grande would probably make the best root stock for grafting, anyway....See MoreAdventures In Growing Trees From Seed
Comments (106)Fell way behind keeping this updated...sorry, so here we go It was an off year weather wise, we still grew some trees and had success and some only did ok. Staghorn sumac (only have early pic forgot to take one before they were planted in the woods) Oak (bur, red, white) Apple Locust Jack pine (with self seeding maple) Scotch pine, Douglas fir and 1 lone hemlock (with self seeding maples) Norway maple Spruce (blue, black, white) Tree farm (might have trees ready for the woods late next season) So for our next experiment we want to try doing 2-0 / 3-0 spruce seedlings. I ordered 28 more 45 cell forestry trays for a total of 40 trays 1800 cells so we can plant 450 spruce per season to get the cycle going and overwinter them in the trays so hopefully in 2-3 years we will have bigger stronger seedlings that will be able to fight and survive in the woods. Dont know if we can pull this off and will be trying 2 trays this season to see what happens and learn, either way it should be fun, success or not So if this works we want to grow - Blue (majestic, AZ Kaibab, CO Dolores, CO San Juan), Black, Red, Red/Black hybrid, White, Engelmann (mountain spruce), Siberian, Serbian, Meyers, Norway, Douglas fir, Fraser fir, Balsam fir, White fir, Hemlock, Scotch pine Well that about gets you up to speed....See MoreBeginner Growing Trees from seeds
Comments (3)please go to your members page.. and add your location to your name .. so it pops up in every post ... presuming you are planning on coming back ... without knowing your location ... the question is impossible to answer ... an easy way to start.. would be to ID some of the local trees ... to find out what thrives in your area .. we could do that with pix of the tree and leaves ...you also have.. if you are in the US .. a COUNTY extension office ,.. and they could probably help you with some local information ... also .. if you did this.. how would do it .. pots.. in ground.. etc ... BTW .. it BIRCH .... and if you took that to the WWW ... found the latin name.. then added PROPAGATION to the search .. you could do some basic research into the process .. and then you could come back and ask for more help ... and this is why IDg what you would like to start with .. is important .. as your question is posited ... you would basically like someone to do a doctoral thesis on such.. from start to finish ... and good luck with that ... ken...See Moregrowing buckeye trees from seed
Comments (10)buckeyes are SUPER easy to grow from seed - they just need cold stratification. Only thing I would be careful about is the root - it will shoot out an ENORMOUS taproot before it even sprouts out of the ground, so you need to either plant right away or use a very deep container. Even from your photo I can see a spiral bound tap root...See Morel_james
