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.

Seeds per kg (approx.)	300-600
Collection Period	Oct-Nov
Germination	50-70%
Seed Longevity	1-3 years
Seed Treatment	Hot water 20 min + soaking in cold water 12 hrs

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 20-40 days (after stratification)

Pre-Treatment

Requires cold stratification: prepare and stratify seed as soon as possible after collection to avoid desiccation, keeping it in moist sand or peat at 3-5°C for the winter period before sowing.

Pre-Germination Prep

Use a well-drained mix. This species tolerates poor, nutritionally thin soils reasonably well once established, along with some drought.

Sowing

Sow the stratified seed 3-5cm deep.

Post-Care & Growing On

Keep moderately moist. Germination rates are typically good, commonly reported in the 65-87% range under proper stratification, though results vary by seed batch and conditions. This is a long-lived, substantial tree — plan generous spacing from the start. Note: chestnut blight is a significant disease risk for this species in some regions, worth being aware of if planting at scale.

Tips

Don't let seed dry out before stratifying — prepare it for cold storage as soon as possible after collection Good, reliable germination rates (65-87%) are achievable with proper stratification Chestnut blight is a known disease risk for this species in some regions — worth researching local prevalence before large-scale planting
