Description: Joshua Tree Seeds (Yucca Brevifolia). Mojave Desert Super Bloom (50 seeds) 90+% Germination rate! These fully mature seeds were harvested from select trees in the Mojave desert at 4500ft elevation during one of the wettest years in a long time. The abundance of rainfall we received this year has created a super bloom not seen in decades. Most years will not have enough rainfall for the pods to fully mature. These are the biggest seeds around from a very big tree, they are 4-5 inch pods with very plump healthy seeds. Very fresh seeds for Growing, an also Edible. Great roasted for a healthy snack REGENERATION PROCESSES Seed and seed dispersal: Seeds are contained in dry, spongy, indehiscent baccate fruits which average 3 inches (69 mm) in length. Fruit first develops near the base of the inflorescence while the upper part is still in flower, and averages 25 to 40 per cluster. Annual fruit production varies greatly under natural conditions. Generally, fruit is produced only in wetter years. On extremely harsh sites the Joshua tree flowers rarely, if at all. Seeds are dispersed chiefly by wind and animals. Birds frequently open the fruit, exposing seeds for subsequent wind dispersal. A number of desert rodents are known to cache Joshua tree seeds and may also disperse seed. Fruit can persist on the tree, but usually disintegrates rapidly. SEED GERMINATION: To encourage faster germination, soaking the seeds in a cup for about 24 hours, then drain the water, keep them moist in the cup for another 2-4 days with a small amount of water, remember to keep them moist with a couple drops of water every couple hours so they don't dry out. Then they will sprout tails about 1/4"or bigger when they are ready to plant. A 4- to 6-inch pot with drainage holes and filled with seed-starting soil will enable the seedling to grow with ease. Sow each seed to a depth of about 1/2 inch. They germinate more reliably when set in full sun, at a temperature of 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. SEEDLING CARE: Keep your sprouts in a warm, sunny place until transplant time, around early spring, If you're on the cooler end of the spectrum for growing the desert fixture, keeping the young ones inside for more than a year can give it a sturdier start when facing its first outdoor winter. As the sapling grows, repotting to increasingly large containers with drainage holes may be necessary until the final transplanting occurs.
