Substrate and Temperature Tests for Germination of Atlantic White-Cedar Seeds
Experiments were conducted to evaluate temperatures and substrates for Atlantic white-cedar— Chamaecyparis thyoides (L.) B.S.P.— seed germination. Seeds placed in petri dishes kept in germination chamber were tested at constant temperatures of 23 ºC (73 ºF) and 26 ºC (79 ºF) and at alternating temperatures of 20/30 ºC (68/86 ºF). Substrates tested were sand, vermiculite, and blue blotter. Best results were obtained with blue blotter under an alternating temperature regime. Tree Planters' Notes 45(4):125-127; 1994.
