Norway Spruce Tree Seeds - 50 Seeds - Beautiful Evergreen Tree Seeds - Picea Abies

Dec 1st seeds arrived. Small plastic bag no instructions. Dec 3rd (day 1) put seeds in water to soak for 24 hours Dec 4th (day 2) wrote the date on the pouch the seeds came in, put the seeds back in it, added a pinch of potting soil and a couple drops of water, sealed it and then put it in the refrigerator. Jan. 18th (day 46 about 6 weeks) used a small plastic container with a clear snap on lid for germination. I lined the bottom with a folded paper towel, added water until it was saturated then poured off the excess. I emptied the bag of seeds and soil into a shallow bowl with a 1/4" of water then used tweezers to separate the seeds and put them neatly on the paper towel in the plastic container. My 50 pack of Norway spruce seeds had 79 seeds and of those 7 were floaters that I kept anyway (none of those sprouted). I closed the lid and left it on the kitchen counter. Jan 24th (day 52) Most of the seeds have swelled and split open so I got a 36 cell seed tray ready for planting. I set the cell pack in one half of a 10 by 20 base with water in the bottom so the water would soak up from the bottom and not compact the soil as much. Any seed that had a root as long as the seed, I moved from the germination tray to the top of the soil in one of the cells but did not bury it. Once finished, I put the greenhouse dome on the base to keep the humidity high. Feb 4th (day 63) After the initial 14 seeds that sprouted roots by day 6 on the paper towel, it has dropped off to about one every other day. The original sprouts have their first needles. For six of the seeds, I made a small indent in the soil and placed the seed root side down and barely covered it to see if it would work better. None of those six survived (my fault not the seeds). Feb. 29th (day 88) No more seeds have germinated so I'm tossing the rest of them. I had a total of 27 seeds sprout out of the 79 seeds (including the 6 I killed) for a germination rate of 34% or a cost of 33 cents per tree.

not a single seed sprouted

Good seeds, great value

Grew perfectly and steps to what I did to grow it I soaked it in water for 24 hrs then all the viable seeds I sown them into soil then 9-10 days later I got one to sprout and that's all I need but Would definitely buy again.

Can't wait to plant

Worthless

If there was a lower star it would get that.... Seeds have been planted in single trays in a green house and nothing.....

I received the Norway Spruce seeds on 2-22-23. I did not store them in the refrigerator. They went into their little grow cells the next day after soaking overnight. They are under a grow light, no heat mat. The ambient room temperature is 68 degrees. Nine days in, at least 20 are up. Since this is such a tiny window, I suspect close to all will survive. Excellent seeds!
