Golden Rain Tree germinated right before winter was created by DavidD

Posted 1 year 5 months ago #78494
Hi I planted multiple Golden rain tree seeds in mid September.
I read these seeds needed cold period to break dormancy that's why I thought planting them in autumn would "mimic" natural germination.
The thing is that 3 of them already germinated and I don't think they'll go through winter due to their weakness.
Do you think it's a possibility to keep them inside during winter? Would they make it in a non heated garden shed?
Thank you!

Hello, I'm afraid you germinated them on the wrong season, it would be better to plant it at the mid/end winter, so it can germinate on spring...

There's not much you can do now, but treat them and protect them from frost without reducing much the light exposure, and hope it survives the winter.

Good luck!

P.S.: I don't have experience with the species, I'm going by what you has told us...
