Hi all,
Ive just harvested some seeds from one of my Trachys, they are still green - should I dry them out before I do anything with them or just go direct and bung em in the propagator?
cheers
Ben

Re: Germinating fresh Trachycarpus seeds
Bit early to harvest, Mine are taken (when I do it) around March to May
Don't put them in a prop, or if warm enough will send them dormant. These are temperate trees so a normal room temp will be fine and like to be cooler at night. Failing that chuck 'em on the ground where it stays damp Those that germinate and survive the first winter are the tough ones

Re: Germinating fresh Trachycarpus seeds
The seeds should be purple/black before you pick them later in the year.
GoodLuck.

That's if the starlings don't get to them first!
