Propagation Processing/Propagule Characteristics:

Pre-Planting Propagule Treatments:
Seeds were sown into cone-tainers filled with Sunshine #1(a soil-less peat-based media)amended with micro-nutrients (Micromax) and a slow release fertilizer (Osmocote 14-14-14). The flats of cone-tainers were covered with poly-ethylene bags and placed in a walk-in cooler (35-40 degrees) for 90 days.

Growing Area Preparation / Annual Practices for Perennial Crops:
Flats were removed from the cooler after 90 days and placed in a greenhouse set at moderate temperatures (70 degrees days/50 degrees nights).

Establishment Phase:
Seedlings emerged within two weeks.
