Sowing: To speed up the emergence of sprouts, the seeds will need preliminary preparation. Immerse in boiling water for a few seconds before sowing. After the seeds are removed from the boiling water, they are immersed in very cold water. Thanks to this procedure, lesions are created on the surface of the dense outer shell, which promotes germination.

Sowing seeds for seedlings is done in pots filled with a substrate consisting of sand and peat; you can also use a greenhouse for this purpose. Sowing is done in the first days of May. Make sure that the temperature of the substrate in the container is about 20-23 degrees, this will increase the successful germination of the seeds. Usually the first shoots appear after 15 days, after sowing. seedlings can grow, without special covering, in the open field, but do not forget to moisten the substrate in time.

The seedlings grown in the summer should be planted in the bed in autumn, where they will stay until the following spring. After that, the trees are transplanted to a permanent place.
