50 seeds maritime pine. 50 fresh viable seeds Pinus pinaster.
Pinus pinaster, the maritime pine or cluster pine, is a pine native to the Mediterranean region. It is a hard, fast growing pine and favours a Mediterranean climate, which is one that has cool, rainy winters and hot, dry summers. It generally occurs at low to moderate altitudes, mostly from sea level to 600 m. Pinus pinaster is a medium-size tree, reaching 20–35 m tall and with a trunk diameter of up to 1.2 m. The bark is orange-red, thick, and deeply fissured at the base of the trunk. The leaves ('needles') are in pairs, very stout (2 mm broad), up to 25 cm long, and bluish-green to distinctly yellowish-green. The maritime pine features the longest and most robust needles of all European pine species. The cones are conic, 10–20 cm long and 4–6 cm broad at the base when closed.
Growing and sowing instruction:
Scarification: Soak in water, let stand in water for 24 hours.
Stratification: The seeds have only shallow natural dormancy and require only a short period of cold stratification ( 8 weeks) to enable germination to occur. The seeds mixed with a little clean,damp sand or damp vermiculite and placed in a clear plastic bag at temperatures between 3-5 Celsius (37-41 Fahrenheit) which is about the temperatures found in your fridge.
Germination: sow seed 1/4" deep. Keep them at room temperature – around 20 celsius. Once the seedlings appear above the compost give them plenty of light.
Germination will begin a few weeks from sowing.
All seeds that I sell are collected personally by me from the region in which I live - Southeastern Bulgaria.
