Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and enhance germination.
Stratification (cold treatment) is recommended: Place the seeds in a moist paper towel, put it in a plastic bag, and refrigerate for 60-90 days.

Sowing:

After stratification, sow the seeds in seed-starting trays filled with a well-draining potting mix.
Cover the seeds lightly with soil, about 1/8 inch deep.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Germination:

Place the trays in a warm location with temperatures around 70-75°F (21-24°C).
Provide indirect sunlight or grow lights to ensure sufficient light for germination.
Germination typically occurs in 4-6 weeks.

Transplanting:

Once the seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots or a prepared outdoor bed.
Space the young trees at least 20-30 feet apart to accommodate their mature size.

Care and Maintenance:

Water the young trees regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods.
Mulch around the base of the trees to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Prune as necessary to remove dead or damaged branches and to shape the tree.
Monitor for pests and diseases, treating as necessary with appropriate organic or chemical controls.
