Full product description
The American ash is a fast, hardy shade tree historically prized for tough, springy wood. How to grow American Ash Tree from seed Start here: American Ash Tree seeds need a cold, moist rest first. Mix them into the damp soil, cover with the humidity lid, and chill the planter in your refrigerator for several weeks before moving it somewhere warm and bright. Sow your seeds at the depth listed on the included instruction card and cover lightly. Then set the clear humidity lid on top to hold warmth and moisture. Keep the planter warm and in bright light, and mist the surface whenever it begins to dry. When your American Ash Tree sprouts appear, remove the lid and move it to your brightest window or under a grow light. Once seedlings have their second set of true leaves, pot them up or move them outdoors after your last frost.
