How To Grow Copper Beech From Seed/Nut

[@AmerAhmad]

Great instructions. Can pl give best time of the year to break the dormancy period in a fridge and when ( month, temperature ) it should it be planted in the soil. Thanks.

[@spencersnursery1547]

I'd say from late autumn to late spring ,they grow quicknsondoesnt really matter.good luck with your tree growing!thanks for watching

[@sunriseseven4366]

Amazing to think that small seed can grow into a huge tree. Nature is wonderful. Thanks for the interesting video, you must have so many plants growing at the moment. :)

Good to see young person into positive interests , have you tried germinating plumb seeds

[@andrewwolfle4674]

What a voice!

Excellent video today Spencer, great job with the editing too

[@spencersnursery1547]

thanks

[@personinthepiano]

Awesome 👌 thanks

[@GamertronicHD]

Nice Video! I do like Redwood trees and the Dawn Redwood especially because it is a decidous conifer like Larch. It is also easy to grow from cuttings.

[@spencersnursery1547]

thanks!you just reminded me about that! I have the seeds for redwood but need to plant them! may do a video on them in the future as they take a long time to grow to start with

[@irishlad8797]

Great video and class background music too but where would I buy the seeds ..??

Hi from Türkiye

[@janegadd1681]

Brilliant thank you, have shared with Cainscross Copper Beeches on Facebook

[@spencersnursery1547]

No I dont use Facebook

[@hanabi55]

Thank you for this great video! What time of year are the seeds ready to collect?

[@evandorco5193]

Thanks great work

[@joewood1956]

Awesome stuff!

[@stanleycameron8711]

Thanks for the vid. After putting the seeds in the fridge did you plant them in or out side. Could you do some more tree seed demos pls like hazel hawthorn or hornbeam? Great instructions

[@spencersnursery1547]

I put outside in spring,you can do similar with other trees

[@jeffhiggins6211]

Thanks. My beech nuts sprouted. How deep should I plant them? Should I put them outside in the pot? Thanks

[@spencersnursery1547]

Sorry for late reply .just make sure the roots are covered and it can stand up straight. They are fine outside now

[@Lubohrivnak]

When do u collect seed? Autumn? And put em in ground or soil, early spring?

[@seinfeldsvanseinfeldsvan5176]

so seeds from a purple copper beech parent tree will grow green leaf seedlings?

[@ravindutheekshana2347]

will it grow under tropical climate?

[@raphlvlogs271]

are freezers good for stratifying them?

[@shaunwistow5840]

Thanks for the video, do you need to keep watering it whilst it is in the fridge?

[@spencersnursery1547]

No,it doesnt want to be wet.just moist

[@shaunwistow5840]

@@spencersnursery1547 but won’t it dry out after a few days in the fridge?

[@shaunwistow5840]

@@spencersnursery1547 Hi, does it not need to stay damp. After a couple of days won’t it have dried out?

[@spencersnursery1547]

@@shaunwistow5840 no the fridge is cold so evaporation is slow. Otherwise all your food will go bad. That's what a fridge does

[@raphlvlogs271]

where are they native to?

[@bellabutler48]

Great instruction - sound quality not great. Missed some of the voice over

[@williama7935]

how long it takes before it grows book

[@spencersnursery1547]

Before it what?

[@raphlvlogs271]

background music too loud.

[@pamwilliams8944]

Why the horrible endless "music" to distract? I had to give up watching.

[@spencersnursery1547]

sorry,stopped it in more recent videos.I also found it annoying.thanks for your feed back

[@conniejeanmqt3005]

Can written instructions be provided, I'm hard of hearing & I'm having difficulty understanding all the instructions.

[@judythemidwife]

Its not complicated like in this video so no reason to follow any of the advice in this video. You can put them in water and see what seeds floats, but you can also feel by weight which seeds are fertile. Anyway, a beech produces a thousand seeds per year so no real reason to do this. Store seeds until winter ends. No need for fridge time. prepare a pot with potting soil. None of the seeds i put under 1 cm of soil germinated. The ones that germinated were 3 inches under the soil in moist potting soil. after 2 months, i was curious what was happening, and saw that none of the top ones germinated, perhaps because the top dries out sometimes, but the seed 4 inches under the soil was sprouting. so i removed the top 3 inches and watered it and it is growing.

[@spencersnursery1547]

Yes you can do it like that,I explained both methods. People don't in the fridge if they dont have many seeds(if they brought some)I put the seeds 1cm in the compost in the fridge and then potted them deeper.I understand you,but no need to dislike and soni ask you to watch the video and to listen to what I say.just trying to help,if you read many pages it gives the fridge method but I also explain the natural method as that is easier if you have a lot of seeds. I do the water test as some seeds may have bugs in and you dont want them getting in the other ones.thanks,hope I explained this better for you and wish you the best on your tree growing!
