Fresh — Great for Germination · Collected recently — great time to sow

Why is this approximate?

Freshness status shown above is an approximate estimate derived from this species' typical collection period and reported seed longevity. It does not reflect verified testing of this specific batch and should be treated as general guidance only.

Seed germination is a biological process dependent on multiple variables outside our control, including but not limited to storage conditions prior to and following purchase, sowing technique, soil composition and drainage, ambient and soil temperature, humidity, light exposure, and watering practices. Even under optimal growing conditions and correct pre-treatment, no seed lot can be guaranteed to achieve 100% germination, and natural variation in individual seed viability is expected. SeedsCart does not guarantee germination outcomes and is not liable for germination failure arising from growing conditions, handling, or environmental factors beyond the point of sale.

Plant Form	Medicinal Tree
Seeds per kg (approx.)	50-60
Collection Period	July - Aug
Germination	30- 60%

Growing & Establishment

Tree seeds vary widely in their germination requirements. Many Indian hardwood species benefit from pre-sowing treatment — soaking for 12–24 hours, mechanical scarification, or brief hot water treatment to break seed coat dormancy. Polybag nursery raising is the standard method for most plantation species in India. Field transplanting is best timed to coincide with the onset of the monsoon for maximum survival.

Use in India

India's National Afforestation Programme, state forest departments, and private agroforestry initiatives use millions of tree seedlings annually for reforestation, social forestry, and watershed restoration. Native tree species are preferred for ecological projects, carbon sequestration, and farm forestry under national agroforestry schemes.

SeedsCart has supplied tree seeds to nurseries, forest departments, NGOs, plantation companies, and agroforestry projects across India for over 30 years. Seeds are collected from certified natural stands, germination-tested before dispatch, and available in bulk quantities for institutional and commercial buyers. We ship internationally.

Germination Guide

Typical germination time 15-30 days

Pre-Treatment

Soak fresh seed in water for 12-24 hours, or lightly scarify, to break the hard seed coat. Freshness matters a great deal for this species — seed harvested when ripe and sown immediately gives 80-90% viability, dropping off if seed is held in storage.

Pre-Germination Prep

Use a well-drained mix in partial shade. Keep temperature in the 25-30°C range for best results.

Sowing

Sow 1.5-2cm deep, one seed per polybag.

Post-Care & Growing On

Keep consistently moist. With fresh, treated seed, germination typically completes in 15-30 days. Seedlings from seed are genetically variable (not true-to-type) — flower colour, bark, and vigor can differ from the parent tree, which is worth knowing if you want a specific look.

Tips

Sow soon after harvest — this species loses viability with storage, and fresh seed reaches 80-90% germination versus much lower rates for older seed Partial shade suits this species well, reflecting its natural growing habit Seed-grown Ashoka trees vary genetically from the parent — flower colour and vigor can differ noticeably between individual seedlings
