Many will ask - why grow cedar. This tree is famous for its fruits, which are rich in vitamins and minerals. Also, in folk medicine, cedar resin is used, as well as the needles of this plant.

It is quite possible to grow this plant from seeds. First of all, you need a cedar cone with seeds. It is in a natural "container" that cedar seeds retain their vitality.

It is best to plant seeds in the ground in the fall (September - October). Before planting seeds, they must be soaked in warm water. The seeds are soaked for 5 days. The waters are preheated to 30 degrees. We change the water with seeds every day.

Next, mix the seeds with river sand. After 2 months, the seeds should hatch. If you do not plant the seeds immediately after they hatch, they must be stored at 0 degrees.

After disembarkation, it is necessary to cover the landing sites in order to protect them from birds. Seeds winter well in the ground, and in spring they will sprout well.
