Ailanthus ALTISSIMA

Sowing and germination

Ailanthus seeds are flat lionfish, high germination rate, stored for 2-3 years. The wing is not removed before sowing. Seeds are soaked for 12-24 hours in warm water or in a solution of a growth stimulator: balanced plant vitamin supplement, natural plant growth stimulant, amino-acid plant fertilizer, anti-stress adaptogen solution or root development stimulant. Stratification is desirable: 1-2 months at 2-5°C in wet sand noticeably levels out the seedlings. Sowing is carried out in the spring in a loose substrate to a depth of 1-2 cm or before winter directly into the ground. The crops are moistened with a spray bottle and germinated in the light at a temperature of 18-25°C. Shoots appear in 2-4 weeks, all together. Seedlings grow very quickly and reach a meter in the first season, so planting into separate deep pots is carried out immediately after the first pair of true leaves unfold.
