Field note · June 2026

paper birch, eight weeks old

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

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.
