Persian Silk Tree is an extremely popular bonsai specimen due to its  amazing pink flowers however you will be surprised to know that this tree is hardy to almost all of the UK and makes a dramatic talking point, for example as a specimen tree in the middle of lawn. It is also really useful & fast-growing tree as a container specimen - can be moved into a prime viewing spot when about to flower. Whilst it is tolerant of frosts and snow, it should be sheltered from strong winds and when used as a container plant given some protection in particular cold weather.

Seed Germination

• Seeds can be sown indoors at any time of year
• Soak seeds in hot (not boiling) water for 24 hours
• Seeds should have swollen to around 3 times their previous size. 
• Any seeds which have not swollen can be scarified (scratched with a metal nail file or similar) then soaked for a few hours in cold water. 
• Sow the seeds 8-10mm deep in a well-draining compost mix - ideally 50/50 sieved compost and vermiculite. 
• The first seeds should germinate in 10-20 days but the stragglers can take up to 8 weeks.
• Once large enough to prick out, transfer to individual deep pots or root trainers as this tree has a deep tap root.
• Harden off in early spring and plant out after all danger of frost has passed.
• Prefers a free-draining soil in full sun.
