A colleague of mine has taken a sudden interest in conifers. Does anyone
have any experience/advice to share?
From: Daniel P Haskins <dphaskins@juno.com>
Question
One of my goals is to try growing pines from their seed cones. We have
Norways, Jack Pines, White Pines, Spruce, Scotch Pines and others on the
island. Also limited Cedar.
Now some of the varieties have the harden cones that I believe need
heat/fire to open them. Question is how much and how.
Then instead of just scattering the seeds, I want to have a concentrated
area of pots to germinate and grow the seedlings, then transplant. Also
the potting soil content, I believe should be on the acidic side but how
much.
Do you know a good site to get all this data?
