Toona sinensis seeds (Chinese Mahogany)

Description

We are currently doing viability testing.  Seeds are very easy to germinate where they are used as sprouts.

We like to think its coming soon.

AKA ‘Spicy Onion Tree’ for its new shoots taste somewhat like onions with Szechwan pepper making useful as food and a spice…a useful addition for an edible landscape. If not harvested and left to mature, the young pinkish hued 30 cm long pinnate leaves become a lovely green in summer. Fast growing tree that takes well to pruning if you want to keep it from growing too tall. Dark brown bark has a lovely reddish cast. Tolerant of many soil types, but not extremely dry hot areas.

How to germinate Toona sinensis seeds:

Easy to grow. Surface sow thinly on prepared medium of loosened sand & finely milled peat. Mist into surface. Clear plastic cover improves success. Germinates quickly at 20C. Fastest germination method with near +90% germination: soak seed 24 hours changing the soak water at least twice then baggie sow in moist milled peat. Provide gentle warmth (20C) and it should germinate in 5-7 days. Prick out, transplant and provide strong indirect light.
