Growing Mesquite, Palo Verde and Desert Willow from Seed- How are they doing after 5 months?

youtube.com/@southof37?sub_co...
Here I'm following up with a video showing the progress of the trees that I planted from seed. The plan is to take them to where I hunt and camp to improve the habitat for wildlife and beautify it as well. Some well-placed shade trees would be appreciated beyond what words can describe. Hope you enjoy and take the time to comment down below.
Thank you for watching!

Do you know on average how long do Palo Verde seeds take to sprout?? 🌱 Have been waiting for over 3 weeks and not se any form of life 😢 Thanks in advance

Did you scarify the seed first? I snip the ends and then place between a damp, folded paper towel until they germinate, which is usually about 1-2 weeks before I can get them into a small pot of quick draining soil. To be honest, the Palo Verde have given me the most trouble growing once the seeds sprout. I’m happy I have a couple, one being the Desert Museum variety. The Velvet Mesquite have been super easy. Thank you for checking out my videos. It’s much appreciated!👍🏻

@@desertqwest I never knew you had to do that to the seeds. I will be doing it with the next batch. Will keep you posted once they sprout. Thanks a lot for the help.

@@omarrosas7502 Just curious, which Palo Verde is it you’re trying to grow?

[@omarrosas7502]

@@desertqwest I'll be honest, I am not sure. It is the most commonly found in Las Vegas NV. New to all this

@@omarrosas7502 Perhaps the Foothills variety or Blue Palo Verde. Regardless, I love all of them and have really grown to love the look of a green desert landscape ❤️ Keep trying and let me know if I can help in any way 👍🏻
