🌰 Germination Instructions

Japanese Maple seeds have a thick, hard seed coat and require pretreatment:

1. Scarify: Pour hot water over seeds and soak for 24 hours.

2. Stratify: Cold stratify at 40°F for 90–120 days in a moist (not wet) medium.

3. Sow 1/4 inch deep after stratification.

4. Keep soil evenly moist but not saturated.

Germination may be slow and irregular — patience is important.
