• 💡 Stratification: 90–120 days of cold, moist treatment helps break dormancy.

Transplanting and care

After germination, move seedlings into individual containers and grow indoors for 2–3 months before spring outdoor planting. In the landscape, maintain moisture, apply mulch, and shield young trees from strong winds during early development.
