We grow walnuts on a plot of seeds. Affordable way to germination

Walnuts grow on the site is not so difficult. Previously I thought of in the zone of risky agriculture does not grow. Seedlings obtained from seeds germinated. There are species of hazel that can withstand low temperatures (temperatures down to minus fifty degrees).

Walnut trees - tall plants, which are considered longevity, life span can reach up to 1000 years. But already beginning to bear fruit from the age of six. Twenty years of hazel can give to one tree nut sack. How to grow a garden of nuts on their own, without having to buy not cheap seedlings?

How to germinate

Nuts choose to look healthy, free from mold, with a fresh crop. Last year's nuts are not going to fit, because they have already dried up. Walnuts can be bought on the market, store, and if you are lucky, ask neighbors or friends who have a garden of nuts.

Mark container, put the nuts and pour warm water (approximately 45 degrees). Cover and lid nuts in a warm place (near the battery or oven). They must be in the water for 2-3 days and soak up the moisture.

The liquid must be drained, leaving a little water at the bottom to preserve moisture. Put a container of nuts in a warm place for germination and cover the lid again.

Every 1-2 days is necessary to slightly open the cover to ventilate and monitor the moisture capacity, to prevent drying, adding some water. Nuts germinate in about 2-3 weeks (each nut has its own degree of germination). But all the nuts germinate, so poor planting material is discarded.

Next sprouted nuts planted in disposable cups or plastic buckets. At the same time they are placed on the soil and covered with an edge. Spine goes into the ground, but the germ of the tip will be pulled up. Bury do not need much in the ground nut, it is important to fill it completely. During the planting soil should be moistened. Soil composition - earth and sand in a ratio of 1 to 1.
