I have been watching the Green Fruit on the Italian Cypress, so I came in to find out if I can grow some! Thank you, I will watch for the Pods to Mature! This is my next Adventure to try in the Garden!
Excellent thank you. Watching with my three year old. We just found some of these pods and now we have a project to do together. Thanks for breaking it all down for us
Hi, i did the exact same as you but i removed the "cones" from the tree when they were still green, accidently left them in my car and due to heat from the sun when i park my car outside the "cones" opened by themselves. i put the seeds in a wet tissue just like you did but i did not put them in the fridge. After around 3 weeks i 10 have already germinated but there is much more left. will the germination rate increase if i leave them 30 days in the fridge? i always try to sow the seeds when i see the tiny root coming out of the seed. what is was your success rate of each seed in the video? thanks for the video, look forward to your reply.
@@spencersnursery1547 my greenhouse has blew over this morning and lost a few pots 😥 need to secure it down better.. I've used some odd rocks and wood at the moment
@@spencersnursery1547 cheers.. luckily the seedling I had in there has survived.. only had it set up for a couple of weeks now. Have you got any social media like Instagram etc?
oh dear. I collected some cypress pine seeds, a different type though, they have arching branches like a normal tree. But I researched and read you're supposed to plant the seeds in Spring without stratifying them, so that's what I did. Do you think there's any chance they will sprout anyway? or sprout after next winter?
Depends on the type of cypress most branch out,you could topiary it if you want.some people say you dont need to overwinter them but it is best to as it gives you a better success rate especially if the seeds are from a climate with winter that they have adapted to.aslong as you dont let them rot you should be fine.hope this helps
Spencer's Nursery thank you so much for replying. I did some research and they are Monterey Cypress pines. do you know how long the seeds are good for? I planted half of the seeds this spring. If I planted the other half next winter to allow them to stratify will it be OK? thank you so much for your help!
@@CapAwesome I planted the seeds a couple of times, and I can't remember which time the above comment was. But I know i planted some in autumn and got 1 seed to sprout out of probably 50. Then a year later I planted probably another 50 and got 1 to sprout that later died. So my conclusion would be, definitely stratify them, and collect as many seeds as you can, expecting a low germination rate. But you know, these things can vary for unknown reasons so you might have more success than me!
Well it depends on where you are in the world as it's different everywhere. Just look out for when the cones are brown and they should be good.thanks for watching
Do you have to wait for the acorn to dry out and crack open? We pulled some green ones off the tree and cut into it with a knife to take the seeds out, which was quite difficult. It's been about 10 days and I don't see any sprouting yet. Wondering if the seeds were premature, or maybe just need to wait a bit longer.
@@youngbloodwamashariki8915 nothing really. The seeds I cracked out manually were duds. So I put the rest outside in the hot sun & dried out the other acorns. They cracked open naturally so I emptied all the seeds in a bag. I still assume they’re not gonna work but will try sprouting in fall.
@@AliBabaZumba He mentions at the 1.10 mark something about after they are green but before they open on their own. It sounds like you left it a bit too long to get the seeds.
Hi! I live in the southern Europe and the winter has just begun here. Can I just put the seeds in the container and leave it outside instead of the fridge? Will it sprout naturally in the spring? Thank you in advance.
Seems like a lot a work with checking often for germination. I saw a better alternative where a guy also did the paper towel method, but placed the paper towel in a seal plastic container with holes punctured in the top. Seeds germinated within 10 days! Have you tried that method?
Hi, forgot to change the napkin and they got proper moldy. Is there a chance they will still grow? I put the seeds in pots. Have been waiting for over a month.
Thank you, I have my seeds from Israel's vacation!! 🌿🤗❤️
Inspiring young man - keep up the good work - will go to stratify my cyprus seeds now so they are ready for germination come march :)
Have you another video about ongoing care and planting out? Love the videos by the way and many thanks
Have just planted my seeds with these instructions hoping for the best 👌

Great video on growing cypress firs. Very clear instructions. I have several cones on a small fir in a pot so will be growing the seeds this autumn.
Very helpful video. Just harvested a ton of these seeds from the few I have planted in my yard. I hope to have a good many sprout.
Thats was interesting man. Thanks for the video!
I like ur vids
Just what I was searching for; thank you
Another good video with tips for cypress and general sowing of seeds. Laura
Thanks!
Thank You,video is very informative.
Thanks bro, wish me good luck from IR

Thanks man. very informational
No problem, glad it helped

Thank you! :)
Very informative thanks
Thanks,glad it helped
good video. perfect explination. Compost soil you say :) Just putting them in fridge
Thank you, it was a great help!
Great video ! Thanks ! One question: the fridge dries out the paper towel in a few days. Should I re wet the paper when that happens ?
Thank you!
Great work - I’m defo going to try this xx
Thank you so much. Once they start to grow, how much water do you recommend?

شكرا لك
Can I start growing these now at end of September
Thank you very much
Greetings from India
when you say put them in window...i live in california where it gets really hot...should i put some shade cloth on the window? will they still grow?
What time of year can this whole process b undertaken?
Great vid
Thankyou
Can we grow this Italian Cypress in summer?
If I have the seeds now and need to imitate winter conditions in zone 7 USA, should I put the seeds in freezer or refrigerator?
if we sow unopened cones in the soil,is there any chance for germination?
❤
Thanks for awesome info! Do you think this method would work for Arizona cypress seeds as well? Thanks!
Good job. Keep it up. I love 🪴
I had several green cones i tried warm up them to open and I got the seeds. Do you think it works? thank youu
Do u know how to grow cypress tree cuttings?
Very helpful video. I’m in Tanzania, How can i get some seeds?
I love those trees but I can’t find one around here.
Great video I currently have the same seeds in the fridge waiting! Have you tried to grow honey locust trees?
Amazing! Will try and grow it,if I am successful I might do a video on them! Thanks for watching

That's a shame.i remember when my nanas greenhouse blew into the koi pond but didn't smash lol.hope you get it sorted...
@@spencersnursery1547 cheers.. luckily the seedling I had in there has survived.. only had it set up for a couple of weeks now. Have you got any social media like Instagram etc?
My Instagram is in the description
I've never been able to get an Italian cypress tree to grow from a seed. What am I doing wrong?
Exactly. I have tried everything. Nobody in the comment section has successfully managed to grow a tree including the guy in the video.
Hi do you sell seeds.or even seedlings. Am from Botswana and would like to buy
How often should I water the seedling?
I thought trees need water?? So.. Do I water them or not
What season does the cypress trees grow the seeds?

How do you get the seeds out of the ball?
How long does it take to grow until it becomes 2-3 meters tall? Just wondering if I should get the tree or growing it from seeds.
Can you tell us a specific season to harvest these seeds ? Other than that great video:)

Will definitely work,just dont let them get wet .hope this helps
@@spencersnursery1547 It does. Thank you!
How long does it take from seed to reach one meter ?
Also do you have any tips for trimming italian cypress trees ?
Hi jp here from malta.
More than 1 seed sprouted in every pot. When is the best time to split.
Do they have a dormancy period
Probably split when there is no visable fresh growth.hope this helps
Seems like a lot a work with checking often for germination. I saw a better alternative where a guy also did the paper towel method, but placed the paper towel in a seal plastic container with holes punctured in the top. Seeds germinated within 10 days!
Have you tried that method?
Or in a plastic zip pouch leaving a tiny opening
How much water does it need after planting seeds in tray?
Does it require watering daily?
If it starts to look dry give a very light watering.
Hope this helps
Hi, forgot to change the napkin and they got proper moldy. Is there a chance they will still grow? I put the seeds in pots. Have been waiting for over a month.
If they dont germinate within a week,just retry them.
I put the whole thing that holds the seeds in the dirt. Will it grow?
Worth a try,please let me know if some sprout!
@@spencersnursery1547 Deal. How long does it take before something appears on the surface?
@@ronyra probably a few weeks
i never find you are Instagram page
Hi,the link is messed up.just search Spencer's Nursery. Thanks
Thanks you.
I accidentally put the seeds in the freezer instead of the fridge. I hope they survive after all 😢.
Did they?
@@husseinoskovjino9398 , No, I had to order another one.
Plants grown after a few days wither and wither
They probably rotted or dried out
