||
| Propagation Goal: | Plants | ||
| Propagation Method: | Seed | ||
| ProductType: | Container (plug) | ||
| Stock Type: | 164 ml (10 in3) container | ||
| Time To Grow: | 20 weeks | ||
| Target Specifications: | Stock Type: Container seedling Root System: Firm plug in container. | ||
| Pre-Planting Treatments: | Due to small seed size, the easiest method is to sow seed into trays filled with stabilized medium plugs (Q-plugs). Trays are sealed inside plastic bags and placed into refrigeration at 1 to 3 °C for 45 days. Trays are checked weekly and kept moist throughout the stratification period. If mold is evident, trays should be treated with 1% hydrogen peroxide. | ||
| Growing Area Preparation/ Annual Practices for Perennial Crops: |
Greenhouse growing facility. Q-plugs are lightly covered with nursery grit. Seedlings are transplanted to target containers approximately 3 weeks following removal from stratification. Growing medium used is 40:20:20:20 peat:composted fir bark:perlite:pumice with Nutricote controlled release fertilizer (18N:6P2O5:8K2O with minors; 180-d release rate at 21C) at the rate of 0.8 gram Nutricote per 164 ml container. |
||
| Establishment Phase: | Germination is somewhat slow, but is usually complete in 3 weeks. Following germination (while still in Q-plugs), plants are fertilized with soluble 12-2-14-6Ca-3Mg at 75 to 100 ppm for 2 weeks. | ||
| Length of Establishment Phase: | 3 weeks | ||
| Active Growth Phase: | During the growing season, soluble fertilizer (20-9-20 NPK with minors) at 100 ppm is applied weekly throughout the season. | ||
| Length of Active Growth Phase: | 18 weeks | ||
| Hardening Phase: | No dry-down is done to induce dormancy. Seedlings are moved to an outdoor growing area in mid-September. | ||
| Length of Hardening Phase: | 3 weeks | ||
| Harvesting, Storage and Shipping: |
Harvest Date: Mid-October Storage Conditions: Seedlings are usually outplanted in fall. No storage except in outdoor growing area. Plants are well irrigated prior to shipping and shipped in containers. |
