How to Start a Buckeye Tree From Seed
https://www.trucoservices.com/post/arborists-near-me
Buckeye trees are beautiful additions to any landscape. These trees produce beautiful foliage and provide attractive fall colors. They also require a little care and attention to keep them healthy. However, if you aren’t willing to invest in an established tree, buckeye trees can be grown from seed.
Condition of the Soil
During the first year, buckeyes will need regular watering. The soil should be slightly acidic. A 2-inch layer of compost helps protect the young root system.
Depends on the Variety
In the first year, a buckeye tree should be placed in a location that receives full or partial sun. It will grow to about 50 feet high. Depending on the variety, it can produce fruit as early as eight years old.
The Soil of Buckeye Trees
Buckeyes will thrive in most soils. Their native habitat is acidic woodland soil. If your soil is too acidic, it may be necessary to add lime.
Dormancy
In the winter, buckeye seeds are dormant. In order to break this dormancy, you need to stratify the seeds. This can be done in a container. You will need to place the buckeye seeds in a 50:50 mixture of sand and peat moss. After a few weeks, the buckeyes will start to sprout.
When Ready for Planting
When the buckeyes are ready for planting, you should loosen the soil by about a half inch. Make sure that you remove any twigs or branches. Before you fill in the hole, it is a good idea to check the roots to make sure they are not root-bound.
