Pine Seeds - Question?

Post by tex048 »

I planted some JBP and Red pine seeds and they are starting to pop up now.

I have not raised pine seeds before and have (properly a silly) question.

Many of the new sprouts that have come up but still have the seed husk attached at top - should I remove the seed husk or will it just fall off when it's ready?????

Many thanks

will fall off in time mate, let them be. I will try find a good thread on pine seed propagation as small seedlings that is a really good way to do it.
