Tetradium / Bee Bee tree from seed?

[Rhbush318]

Does anyone have experience growing Tetradium or Bee Bee trees from seed?

Specifically I am trying to decide on direct sowing multiple seeds in the location where I would like one tree to grow or to start the seeds in pots and then transplant. Thank you

I have no knowledge myself but there are people on Beesource that advertise seedlings or just show their seedlings from time to time. I don't recall and discussion of how they grow them but you could contact them and ask.

I'm currently starting some from seeds right now. They have not come up yet, but I believe they take time.
The seeds are so cheap though, it would be worth trying!

Are you starting them in a pot? Please keep us updated on how it works out for you.

Do you know what zones they will grow in?

Some seeds require stratification or scarring before they germinate. Some require light, others darkness. Trying various methods in pots is a good idea.
