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.

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 7-28 days

Pre-Treatment

No pre-treatment is required — sow the winged seed as received.

Pre-Germination Prep

Use a light, porous, well-drained soil mix with overhead shade. Avoid planting on heavy or waterlogged sites — an impenetrable soil layer within 60cm of the surface can cause outright failure for this species, so drainage matters more here than for many trees.

Sowing

Sow the winged seed shallow, just below the surface, or broadcast in prepared nursery strips.

Post-Care & Growing On

Keep consistently moist without stagnant waterlogging, at around 24-26°C. Germination rates vary meaningfully by source and region — trials in India report 80-90% success within 1-4 weeks, while Malaysian trials saw notably lower rates (around 35%) over a similar timeframe, so expect some real variability depending on seed origin. Fresh seed loses viability within about 3 months at room temperature, though cold storage (4°C) extends this to as long as 40 months with 60-80% viability retained.

Tips

Drainage matters more for this species than for most trees — avoid heavy or waterlogged sites, since a hard layer within 60cm of the surface can cause plantation failure Germination rates genuinely vary by region/seed source (up to 90% in some trials, as low as 35% in others) — don't be alarmed by lower-than-expected results without assuming something went wrong For longer storage, cold conditions (around 4°C) meaningfully extend viability from a few months to several years
