London Plane Tree Seeds . 

 

HOW TO GROW LONDON PLANE TREES :


Step 1
Soak the seeds in water for 24 hours, then drain and mix with dry sand to separate and make sowing easier. Use a good quality potting or seedling mix and pat nice and flat into pot or seedling tray.London Plane seeds MUST have light and humidity to germinate, so seeds must be sown on top of soil. Water generously and then cover with plastic wrap, glass or keep in a greenhouse where humidity is high.  Remember, these seeds need light to germinate so keep in a bright position out of direct sunlight. Seeds should germinate after 2-3 weeks.   

Step 2
Once sprouted, open plastic wrap a little or expose an area under the glass to allow air circulation and prepare seedlings for more realistic conditions. In a pot, leave until at least 30cm (or 2-3 years old) before transplanting to their permanent position. 

Step 3
It is best to transplant to final position in spring or autumn. Once established, will survive cold and not require much watering. Plane Trees can take between 7-10 years to fully mature.
