Question:
Last year (spring) while hiking in the Giant Forests of Sequoia National Park I collected some pine trees seeds. These came out of a cone I found on the ground, but were rather large seeds. Two days ago I planted them in little seed pots and have them moist in the house at about 60+ degrees. Should I be doing anything else to ensure their germination? If they germinate, in how many days should I see some plant growth?
