Growing
Instructions for the Umbrella Thorn Tree
The seeds have
a hard seed coat that has to be treated, or scarified, in order for water to
enter the seeds so that they can sprout. 1. Scarify the seeds by nicking or
sanding the seed coat. The seeds can be sanded with sandpaper, a nail file or
an emery board. 2. Soak the seed in water for several hours. 3. The seeds like
moist, well-drained soil. Prepare a mixture of half potting soil and half sand,
perlite or vermiculite. Put the soil in a pot. Water the mixture so that it is
moist but not wet. 4. Put the seeds on the soil. 5. Cover the seeds with a thin
layer of soil. 6. Water the seeds. 7. Place the pots in an area with warm
temperatures in full sun or part shade. 8. When the seedlings are a few inches
tall, they can be transplanted.
