Germination Guide

Korean Fir seeds have relatively shallow dormancy however a short period of cold stratification will optimise germination rates. Stratification is a process of simulating natural conditions that the seeds must experience before germination can occur (if a seed germinates in the middle of winter it will die). In the wild, seed dormancy is usually overcome by the seed spending time in the ground through a winter period and having its hard seed coat softened up by frost and weathering action. This cold, moist period triggers the seed's embryo; its growth and subsequent expansion eventually break through the softened seed coat in its search for sun and nutrients.

  • Sow at any time of the year. 
  • Soak seeds for 24 hours in water which starts off hand hot.  
  • Drain off the water and place the seeds in a small zip lock bag
  • Place in the fridge for around 6 weeks.  
  • Check weekly if any seeds have germinated - if so remove and pot these up
  • After the 6 weeks sow these seeds in pots/trays of moist but not wet general purpose compost
  • Cover with a thin layer of vermiculite
  • Keep at room temperature and ensure compost does not dry out.
  • Seedlings should appear in 15-25 days
  • Can be prone to damping off - ensure seedlings ventilated and not too closely packed.
