HOW TO GROW SILVER BIRCH :
 
Step 1

Write the date and place bag into the fridge for 6 weeks. Check weekly to be sure the medium is not drying out – this will make the pre-treatment ineffective, so re-moisten if necessary.

After 6 weeks, sow each seed on the surface of a seed tray or small pot of potting mix and cover with approx. 2mm of vermiculite or a fine layer of sieved potting compost.
