Flame of the Forest

Packet contents: 6 seeds

The packaging of this product is fully compostable, so once you have finished with it, it can be added to the compost heap, so nothing goes to landfill.

Sowing: Sow the seeds indoors or in a propagator at no less than 25°C temperature. Make a mixture of compost and sand or vermiculite so it’s light and airy. Place the seeds flat just under the surface of the growing medium and keep moist but do not overwater. Germination will occur between 2 to 6 weeks and sometimes even longer.

Once the seedlings are strong enough, they can be potted on.

Tip: In colder climates, the tree should be grown in a large container.
