HOW TO GROW KOKUM TREES :


Step 1
Soak seeds in water of room temperature for 48 hours. Change the water after the first day to ensure no bacteria begins to grow. Sow seeds 20 mm (almost one inch) deep into small pots of well draining, humus rich soil and sand mix or lay on top of soil and cover up. Soil must be well draining as these seeds are very prone to rot, so keep moist but NOT WET, watering only as top layer of soil begins to dry! Soil/medium should be kept at warm temperatures during the germination process (approx 16-28°C/60-82°F). If this is not possible in your climate a heat mat will be needed or germination rates will reduce. Pots/trays can be covered with plastic wrap or glass to maintain moisture and warm temperature in a warm, well lit location away from direct sun. If you have a mini greenhouse, use this

Step 2
Keep warm or indoors for entire germination process especially if starting during winter. Seeds should germinate after 3-4 weeks but can take up to 6 months

Step 3
Once sprouted, continue to keep in a warm, well lit position. Start to remove glass/plastic wrap to allow seedlings to adapt to outside environment. May be re-potted if needed once at least two true leaves have grown. Keep in pots until strong enough to plant out and definitely after first winter has passed. If in a cold area, plants will need protecting from cold winds and frost at all times. It is unlikely in cold or temperate conditions that fruiting will be achieved.

Step 4
Transplant to final position after last frost. Spring is an ideal period because it allows the young seedlings to establish before the following winter. If frost occurs during winter, keep plants in containers until at least after their third winter. This should ensure they are established enough to survive frost with a heavy mulch around the base of the tree. In tropical climates, transplant prior to the rainy season. No fertilizer or pesticides are required for Kokum Trees. Kokum Trees can start flowering and fruiting in 7-8 years but are usually more likely in 10-15 years.
