Persimmon: </h2>
<h2 data-for="Seed Germination" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; letter-spacing: 0.005em; line-height: 2rem; margin: 0.5rem auto; padding: 0px;">
Seed Germination</h2>
<div class="section-4" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 1rem; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.6rem; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0.5rem; padding: 0px;">
Persimmon seedlings form a long taproot early on, so they need to be grown in tall plastic containers that will allow the root to form without cramping it. Sow one seed per pot in sterile potting mixture, and make sure the pot has drainage holes at the base. Plant the seeds at a depth of 2 inches, and then set the pots in a warm, bright location. If daytime temperatures stay below 70 degrees Fahrenheit, try warming the pots with a propagation heating mat. Tiny persimmon seedlings should appear in six to eight weeks.</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="tips" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

Tip</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 1rem; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.6rem; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0.5rem; padding: 0px;">
Persimmon seeds have a relatively low germination rate of 25 to 35 percent, so start multiple seeds to increase the likelihood of success.</div>
</div>
<h2 data-for="Seedling Care" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; letter-spacing: 0.005em; line-height: 2rem; margin: 0.5rem auto; padding: 0px;">
Seedling Care</h2>
<div class="section-5" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 1rem; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.6rem; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0.5rem; padding: 0px;">
Bright, indirect sunlight and evenly moist soil provide the best conditions for persimmon seedlings. Keep them outdoors under sheltered conditions during the spring months before slowly exposing them to stronger sunlight over the course of one to two weeks. Water the seedlings weekly, but allow the soil to dry out in the top inch between waterings to keep the roots healthy.</div>
</div>
<h2 data-for="Transplant and Aftercare" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; letter-spacing: 0.005em; line-height: 2rem; margin: 0.5rem auto; padding: 0px;">
Transplant and Aftercare</h2>
<div class="section-6" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 1rem; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.6rem; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0.5rem; padding: 0px;">
Due to their long taproot, persimmon seedlings need to be planted out at the end of their first full growing season, preferably in autumn after the first rain. Choose a planting site with at least 20 square-feet of space per persimmon tree to provide enough room for their mature spread. Persimmon trees are tolerant of most soil types, but they do not do well in seaside areas with very saline soil. Overall, they require very little care and no special fertilizer to bear a hefty crop of fruit. However, persimmon trees can take three to five years to bear fruit, so they do require patience.</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="tips" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<h4 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.5rem; margin: 0.5rem auto; padding: 0px;">

Spread a thick layer of mulch around the base of persimmon trees to keep the soil moist and to make picking up the fallen fruit easier.</div>

Japanese Camellia: </h2>
<ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282526; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
<li class="spacebottom" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Plant Immediately:</span> Plant camellia seeds soon after harvesting. They shouldn’t be allowed to dry out, and some growers like to soak the seeds overnight before planting. If you must store camellia seeds, put them in the fridge in an airtight bag.</li>
<li class="spacebottom" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Planting Seeds:</span> To plant camellia seeds, you’ll need a light seed-starting mix, or a mixture of perlite and peat moss. Wet the planting mix and squeeze out the excess water. Plant your camellia seeds by placing them on top of the planting mix with the eye facing either down or sideways, and cover lightly with soil. Cover the pots with plastic, and place them in a warm spot with bright indirect light (not full sun). Keep the soil moist but not soggy.</li>
<li class="spacebottom" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Germinating Seeds:</span> (optional) If you prefer, you can germinate camellia seeds in a plastic bag with a handful of soil, then plant them in pots once they germinate. This allows you to focus only on the seeds that are viable.</li>

<li class="spacebottom" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Be Patient:</span> Camellia seeds can take from one to several months to sprout, and they often sprout roots before leaves, so it takes even longer to see progress aboveground.</li>
<li class="spacebottom" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Cut the Root.</span> Camellias grow a long taproot that can be stunted if grown in pots. Once the plant has sprouts aboveground, it’s common practice to gently dig up the seedlings and pinch off the tip of this taproot, to encourage the roots to branch out into more of a ball.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Allow to Grow:</span> Camellia seedlings can take 5-7 years to bloom, and they likely will not be exactly like the parent plant. You can shave a year or two off the process by looking around under your camellias for seedlings that have sprouted on their own, and gently transplanting them to pots or into your yard.</li>

Hiroshi I just send photos<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
my greenhouse coach suggest me to gently place away the sprouts one from each other, so their roots do not get entangled</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I do so very gently, and they seem to like it very much</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
is amazing, all the little leaves that are flourishing, also how these sprouts are so green bright at the sunlight </div>

Dr thought also the same thing. They are
neither Persimmon or Ginkgo. He thinks it also doesn’t look like Chinese
Hackberry and I agree with him as I have grown it and it had large
leaves, <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://images.app.goo.gl/ncY8ZYnVahALfhW99&source=gmail&ust=1573127242141000&usg=AFQjCNF1GgFsFZX9c8YOAiRqbYAIZA6NAA" href="https://images.app.goo.gl/ncY8ZYnVahALfhW99" target="_blank">https://images.app.<wbr></wbr>goo.gl/ncY8ZYnVahALfhW99</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However,
he thinks that maybe since Argentina has different weather, hackberry
may have transformed themselves. He has never seen this kind of tree
in.Japan.</div>

Let’s see more pictures when it grows more.<br />

<div>
I think the tree sprouts are from seeds of these type of tree, there were seeds in your envelope</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
the leave is long , not as the gingko leave that opens in a square shape</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have a look at samples of leaves of Chinese hackberry ( scientific name : celtis sinensis )</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
and they look quite alike </div>
<div>
<br />
They are growing beautifully<br />

Hi Sunairi SAN<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am very happy to report that we have three seeds happily growing in the pot.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I think I will leave them together until is time to transfer them to a bigger pot.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today
I will make consultation with my greenhouse supplier, he is a very kind
man that knows a lot about seeds and little sprouts like these 3</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Since
you send ( very generously ) a lot of seeds, I am not sure to whose
species these 3 seeds belong, this is also something I like to consult
with greenhouse man.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But, since the the seeds have at first place two little leaves gingko alike, I think they are gingko.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If everything goes ok, this three gingko will be planted together next 2020 :=) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
will keep reporting !!</div>
<div>

Dear Sunairi friend<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
sorry not to report before on the seeds, but they stay dormant , due to winter time</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
now in Buenos Aires is springtime and we see that there are three sprouts blossoming </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
we think they are seeds from Chinese hackberry, we hope they keep going, will report you each week now :)</div>

Dear Hiroshi<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
comments on improvement of seeds</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1) the seed of Chinese hackberry that started to sprout inside the envelope, keeps going onwards</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2)
and now, one of the seeds of persimmon has produced a root and is
growing also :) I will consult today with my greenhouse advisor, since I
think is already time to put in earth this persimmon seed, the root is
very large, white , and is changing to green at the top, so I think soon
will start to make photos and will be better for the seed to be in earth <div>

Persimmon<br />
<br />
Place the persimmon seeds in a
plastic sandwich bag or glass jar with an equal amount of moist sand or
peat. Store the bag or jar in the refrigerator for three months. This
cold-treatment is known as stratification and breaks the seed's
dormancy, which can inhibit germination. Start it late in the fall or
early in the winter, about five months before the last spring frost.
Throughout the three months, periodically check the medium, and spray it
with a water-filled bottle so it stays moist the entire time.<br />
<div class="section" id="section-2">
Put
peat pellets in a tray or cake pan that's filled with 1 inch of water
and allow the pellets to soak up the moisture and expand. Discard any
water that's left over, and then press one persimmon seed in each pellet
to a depth of 1 inch. Place the tray in a clear, plastic bag to create a
humid environment. The seeds germinate in two to three weeks in dark or
light conditions in a temperature range of 68 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="section" id="section-3">
Remove
the plastic bag as soon as the seeds germinate. Place the tray with the
peat pellets in a sunny, south-facing window so the seedlings can grow.
The ideal temperature during this phase is 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit
during the day and 55 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit at night. Periodically
rotate the tray so the seedlings grow upright and don't have to reach
for the light. Alternatively, suspend two, 40-watt fluorescent lamps
about 6 inches above the seedlings and keep the lamps on for 16 hours a
day. As the seedlings grow, move the lamps up so they always remain at
least 6 inches above the young plants.<br />
<br /></div>
Fill
4-inch pots up to one-third of the way with moist potting mix when the
seedlings are 3 inches tall. Place a peat pellet with a seedling in the
center of each pot and continue filling the remaining two-thirds of the
pot with moist potting mix. Keep the soil moist as the seedling grows.<br />

Ginkgo<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">Put the two handfuls
of the peat into a plastic sandwich bag — the type with a zip-lock
closure. Drop five ginkgo seeds into the bag, close it and set it aside
in an area that remains around 68 degrees Fahrenheit and it won’t be
disturbed. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">Keep checking it to
ensure that the peat remains barely moist and, after one to two months,
put the bags of ginko biloba seeds in the refrigerator and allow them to
remain there for another one to two months. This process is known as
“stratification.” Basically, it imitates what the seeds would go through
in nature.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">When the
stratification period is over, remove the ginko biloba seeds from the
bag and lightly sand the seed coat — not too much, just enough to allow
moisture to penetrate. Drop them into a bowl of water and let them sit
for 24 hours.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;">The next
day, fill a 4-inch planting pot with coarse sand, or a mixture of equal
parts of coarse sand and perlite. If you’re up for trying something
else, I highly</span> <span style="color: black;">recommend</span> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007C9QKCO/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=gardenologi02-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B007C9QKCO&linkId=afa098fb6a4ead7d8afe8aa56fa7d20a">Foxfarm Ocean Forest Potting Soil</a>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;">Run
water over whichever medium you’ve chosen until it’s drenched and water
drains from the bottom of the pot. Set it aside to drain completely
while you sterilize the seeds.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">Make a solution of 9
parts of water and 1 part of household bleach and toss the ginko biloba
seeds into a bowl of the solution. Allow them to sit in it for about 10
minutes and then remove them and rinse with clear water (a colander
comes in handy here). Use paper towels to blot them dry.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">Plant the ginkgo seeds
very shallow – just barely cover them with sand. Place the pots in a
bright area but out of direct sun, indoors, keep the soil moist but not
wet and your ginkgo biloba seeds should germinate within three weeks.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">If you prefer, you can
plant the seeds outdoors, without stratification, in fall and “good
germination should take place in spring,” according to Michael A. Dirr
and Charles W. Heuser, Jr. in </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1588748685/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=gardenologi02-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1588748685&linkId=d4a1ae6e4a7c3a4d464d62271f0bd258" rel="noopener">The Reference Manual of Woody Plant Propagation</a></i> <span style="color: black;">(the bible for plant propagators and a book I highly recommend).</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">If you decide to
germinate with stratification, wait until there is absolutely no danger
of frost before hardening the seedlings off and then planting in spring.</span><br />

Hackberry<br />
<br />
Hackberry seeds have a deep dormancy within them, this requires a
degree of patience to overcome and it is usually quite easy to get high
levels of germination if the correct procedures are followed. <br />
<br />
Soak the seeds in water for 24 hours and drain.<br />
<br />
Next prepare a free draining substrate into which the seeds are to be
mixed, moist sand is thought to give the best results for this although
you could use a 50/50 mixture of compost and sharp sand, The chosen
substrate needs to be moist (but not wet), if you can squeeze water out
of it with your hand it is too wet and your seeds may drown and die. <br />
<br />
Mix the seeds into the substrate, making sure that their is enough
volume of material to keep the seeds separated. Place the seed mixture
into a clear plastic bag (freezer bags, especially zip-lock bags are
very useful for this -provided a little gap is left in the seal for air
exchange) If it is not a zip-lock type bag it needs to be loosely tied.
Then write the date on the bag so that you know when the pretreatment
was started. <br />
<br />
The seeds require a cold period to break the
dormancy that is naturally found within them, this is easily achieved
by placing the prepared bag of seeds and compost mix in the fridge (4
Celsius or 39F) for around 12 weeks. It is quite possible for the seeds
to germinate in the bag at these temperatures when they are ready to
do so towards the end of the pretreatment period, if they do, just
remove them from the bag and carefully plant them up. <br />
<br />
For
larger quantities it is easiest to sow the seeds in a well prepared
seedbed once the cold pretreatment has finished and wait for the seeds
to germinate. Seeds that are ready to germinate will begin to split, if
they have not the pretreatment is not yet complete or has been
ineffective due to incorrect temperatures or incorrect moisture content
of the pretreatment medium and the pre treatment process should be
started again.<br />
<br />
Do not expose newly sown seeds to high
temperatures (above 25 Celsius) otherwise a secondary dormancy may be
induced and the seeds will not germinate until they have been
pretreated again. Germinated seeds can be planted in deep pots or plug
trays in a good quality compost. Keep the seedlings well watered and
weed free. <br />
<br />
Growth in the first year is usually between 15 and
40 cm and usually trouble free. Growth accelerates in the second and
subsequent years. Allow them to grow for 1 or 2 years before planting
them in a permanent position. <br />
