Cold stratification for 60-90 days is recommended. Sow seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix, barely covering them with soil. Keep the medium moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Germination can be slow and uneven, so be patient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings have developed several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on in a sheltered spot. When planting in the garden, choose a location with moist, well-drained soil and partial shade to protect the bark from scorching. Water regularly during the first few years to help establish a strong root system. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 Harry's Snakebark Maple seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824764125494,"sku":"FOLIA2-1193","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6555775557_jwyd.jpg?v=1793004520","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/10-harrys-snakebark-maple-seeds-rare-striped-bark-tree","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
