Have you seen sweet-scented osmanthus seeds? Sweet-scented osmanthus seeds collected and planted next year will be small sweet-scented osmanthus trees

Sweet-scented osmanthus trees have seeds, but not every sweet-scented osmanthus tree can see seeds. The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus is so popular that many friends like to plant it in the courtyard or bedroom. Perhaps you will see that sweet-scented osmanthus trees bear seeds. Science Xingnong makes it clear here that sweet-scented osmanthus trees can be harvested and used to propagate small sweet-scented osmanthus seedlings.

There is a poem saying, "look for Guizi in the mountain temple, and watch the tide on the pillow of the king's pavilion." The Guizi mentioned in the sentence is the seed of what we call the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. Generally speaking, the current sweet-scented osmanthus tree pistils or stamens are not fully developed, so it is difficult to complete double fertilization, it is naturally difficult to seed, while some sweet-scented osmanthus trees are normal, which is called seed osmanthus. The following is about the harvest of sweet-scented osmanthus seeds to make some introduction.

Harvest time

Sweet-scented osmanthus seeds usually mature in early June, when the pericarp of the seeds will gradually change from turquoise to blue-black, which means that the fruit has matured gradually, and some of the faster mature seeds will fall from the tree to the ground. At this time, you can pick the fallen seeds or the seeds on the tree.

Seed treatment

When people harvest sweet-scented osmanthus seeds, they will find that some broken seeds will have sticky pulp. If they are stacked together, they will become rotten and moldy within three or five days, and lose their effectiveness. Therefore, you can mix the seeds with the sand and wash the flesh away.

Seed storage

There are some differences between the storage of sweet-scented osmanthus seeds and other seeds. After washing, sweet-scented osmanthus seeds can be mixed with sandy soil. Pay attention to the degree to which the water content of sandy soil should not be too high. During the whole storage period, it is necessary to keep the sandy soil moist and avoid drying. Especially in winter, the humidity of sandy soil should not be too high, otherwise frostbite will occur.

Sowing seeds

After a long period of storage, the seeds can be sown in the following spring, and preparations will be made a few weeks before sowing. At this time, the humidity of the sandy soil can be increased to provide conditions for seed germination. When the sweet-scented osmanthus seeds show their buds, they can consider sowing.
