i did it differently. 1. plant seeds in late July or early august in a low, wet (moist not swampy) area of the property that is mostly shaded. 2. when they start growing, (i had about a 65% germination rate) wait about 6 weeks to let them grow a bit. 3. transplant to hedge location ( you only have to dig about 6 inches deep to keep the tap root intact). 4. i used two rows for my hedge, each row spaced from each other by 12 inches. each seedling spaced 18 inches. rows were staggered to create impassable hedge. 5. be sure to water and use composted manure. 6. when the deer arrive, mix two egg yokes, two tables spoon of baking powder and a liter of water. spray. they will not eat the hedge plants after that. currently, i have transplanted about 600 plants to my ever extending hedge. each year i add about 50 plants. the orchard just takes up too much of my time to do more. cheers!
You can direct sow seeds but you can get a bit of a head start with seedlings if you have a glasshouse..Leave them put through the winter then in February put them in the glasshouse. They'll sprout a month or two earlier than they would outdoors and will be in a guaranteed nutrient rich, free draining compost
Ive tried it with the flesh on the seeds. I seen a video where the guy was saying if you take the flesh of it takes longer for them to stratify germinate...time will tell Ill let you know how it goes .Great video thanks
Hi Matt. I have dried berries...I boil a 1/8 cup of dried berries, in a 4-quart pure clean water until rootbeer brown then add chamomile and more water for a 20-minute boil, and your done....this tea lowers your blood pressure and you talk the blood pressure medicine back to the cardiologist......I did......its the best.....
Really interesting video thank you. Mr Parkin does this work with pyracantha? I took some cutting while tidying my aunts garden but forgot they were in my car boot so they've dried out but could I save the berries/seeds? Put them in a tub over winter like you demonstrated and plant them in spring? I hope you can advise. Thanks
@@ballskin if it works, it works, no? that's how nature works really. the seeds/berries are dropped along the land, and as the flesh decomposes around them, they grow. i don't understand why you're so upset
@@asarahi888 Insulting someone for being a mome doesn't mean anyone's upset, kid. Nature is a terrible gardener. Maximising the likeliness of germination, fruit yield, growth rate, and so on is essential to good plant cultivation. Don't be so naive and learn more.

Forgot to add, the seeds will sprout the next spring after the July/August planting.
@tina rmeileh yes, the seeds require winter to "stratify".

You could've made sloe wine with all that fruit! Campden tablet, yeast, seedless fruit..hedgerow wine!

How did they do, has the hedge started to grow now?
Here is the link to part 2, Keep watching... Let's grow some trees Part 2
how do i get a plant or seeds so that i start growing it

Part 2 is on the way. Edit complete next week.
Please make more plant videos
Nice
Nonsense, I just burry the seeds in a compost and it grew
You're clearly a trash horticulturist if you don't understand the basics of stratification.
Ballskin You clearly don’t understand life.
@@movingon.............6850 Projecting is a good start to admitting you're wrong.

you should mention where do you store them true winter in the fridge or outside or what?
