Pocket Handkerchief Tree
 

Hello All,

I have some seeds of a Pocket Handkerchief Tree (Davaidia involucrata)
and wonder if anyone has had experience of germinating them. They look
very much like peach stones. Do they need any special treatment.

Thank you,


All the best,


Chris Potts.

Propagation from seeds is quite usual but initial germination takes a
good two years. Seemingly best to weaken the shell by sanding.

Gosh, Thanks for that. I will put them in a pot and leave them.
