    Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Germination

    To germinate Sclerocarya birrea seeds, soak them overnight in warm water then place on damp peat moss for 1-2 weeks. This softens plugs found at the broad end of the seeds. Carefully pare down the plugs with secateurs until the outline is visible, then gently lever them out with a small knife or vise grips. Plant the seeds with the roots down in soil kept moist at room temperature. Cover lightly and use a fungicide, bringing inside if the weather is cold.

    Sclerocarya birrea seed germination

    Soak the seeds overnight in warm water, then place on damp fluffy peat moss at room
    temperature for about a week or 2. This softens the plugs found at the broad end - usually
    2 per seed, sometimes 1. The broad end should carefully be pared down with secateurs
    until the outline of the plug is visible. Then, using a small pocket knife gently inserted
    into the plug outline, gently lever out the plug - may need vise grips to do this. Once this
    is done, the seed should be placed on the peat moss and kept moist at 2-!"#. The root
    grows $uickly and as long as the weather is warm, the sprouted seed may be planted.
    %nsert the root into the soil and &ust barely cover the seed. 'on(t allow it to get too wet or
    too cold, use a fungicide, and if the weather is cold, bring it inside
