Since all decorative properties will be lost and you will get a conventional Wild Tui tree. In addition, this is a very long and time-consuming process - you can grow a full seedling only in five years. Of the advantages of this method of landing, it can be noted that such a tree will be perfectly adapted to local conditions. Fresh-robbed Tui seeds need to leave under the winter under the snow - so they will germinate much faster. Then in the spring, put them in the nutrient ground. Sprouts usually germinate quickly, but long-term care needs for young shoots. And only for the fifth year they can be transplanted to a permanent place.
