Seed Stratification and Germination: Summer Field Notes
Field note · June 2026
paper birch, eight weeks old
paper birch, eight weeks old. stratified in some damp vermiculite jan through march, then planted into flats on the surface in april. the seed needs some light to germinate so just a thin amount of potting mix or perlite / vermiculite to hold a bit of moisture, and I kept a humidity dome over them for the first month.
