Stratification and Temperature Requirements for Germination of Autumn Olive (Elaeagnus umbellata) Seed
Optimum seed germination requirements were determined for autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata), an exotic low-growing shrub planted widely on coal surface-mined lands and wildlife management areas in the United States to provide food and cover for wildlife. Study results indicated that optimum germination of autumn olive seed is achieved with a minimum cold stratification period of 16 weeks and a subsequent night/day germination temperature of 10/20 °C.
