"Native trees grow much faster than non-native trees. But even
experienced horticulturists can be mystified about how nature sows
and germinates seeds especially acorns and walnuts."
Thanks to this book, any gardener can now grow trees from seeds
within as little as ten years. The secrets are to know what seeds
to collect and how to prepare and plant them. From their extensive
knowledge, the authors guide the reader in identifying native
trees, vines and shrubs and describe howto propagate them.
Growing Trees from Seed covers the ecology, abundance, fruit
characteristics and edibility of the more than 200 species
discussed in this book. There is expert guidance on when to gather
fruits, how to extract seeds from the fruit, and when and how to
treat and germinate the seed, plus information on transplanting and
expected growth rate. Alerts throughout the book identify closely
related non-native species now common to various regions.
Many illustrations and descriptions help the reader with plant
identification. A seed-treatment guide provides a handy
reference.
Among the trees, vines and shrubs covered are: Alders Beeches
Berries Birches Cedars Cherries Chestnuts Clematis Dogwoods Elms
Firs and pines Hickories Junipers Laurels Maples Oaks Plums Poplars
Spruces Walnuts Willows.
There is no better guidebook on how to grow native trees from
seed.
