Good questions grow here
A little more clarity.
Do Hazelnut Tree seeds need cold stratification?
Yes — Hazelnut Tree seeds are raw and untreated, so they need a cold, moist rest to break dormancy. Mix them into the damp soil, cover with the lid, and chill the planter in the refrigerator for several weeks, then move it somewhere warm and bright.
How long do Hazelnut Tree seeds take to germinate?
Hazelnut Tree seeds typically sprout in 60-120 days at 33-40F when kept warm and evenly moist. Your guide lists the ideal conditions.
Can I grow Hazelnut Tree indoors, and is it hardy in my area?
You start Hazelnut Tree indoors in any climate using the kit. Once established it can be moved outdoors in hazelnut, or kept in a container in colder regions.
Growing details are supplied in the Seeds In A Cup product catalog. Follow the instructions included with your specific kit.
