Tree Seed Bomb Collected from our Stand

Please find time to plant the seed bomb

Within it are a Field Maple seed and an Alder seed. They can just be placed in a suitable area and they should germinate.

We strongly recommend that the planting locations are at least 50m from properties and where possible close to existing trees. The Mycorrhizal Fungi networks from the existing trees will reach out to the new seedlings once germinated and help them altruistically, even if a different species*.

The Alder seed would prefer damper ground and the Field Maples are usually found in woodland edges and hedges.

We suggest that the seed bomb is covered with a small amount of soil or planted just below the surface. To help it establish please water during spring and summer, keep weeds away and mulch. Mulching will increase Mycorrhizal Fungi activity by upto 15 times.

* Although very altruistic and under good and average conditions they will help not only their own species, but also other species, even deciduous trees will help coniferous trees. But when the weather is very hot and dry, they can will direct all their help to their own seedlings.
