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 2 weeks.

Growing Area Preparation / Annual Practices for Perennial Crops:
Flats were removed from the cooler after 2 weeks and placed in greenhouse set at moderate temperatures (70 degree days/50 degree nights.)

Establishment Phase:
Seeds germinated within one to two weeks. 75% germination occured.
