Good questions grow here
A little more clarity.
Do Pecan Tree seeds need cold stratification?
Yes — Pecan 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 Pecan Tree seeds take to germinate?
Pecan Tree seeds typically sprout in 30-60 days at 33-40F when kept warm and evenly moist. Your guide lists the ideal conditions.
Can I grow Pecan Tree indoors, and is it hardy in my area?
You start Pecan Tree indoors in any climate using the kit. Once established it can be moved outdoors in pecan, 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.
