My tree 20 ft tall is outside. Frost down to 18 F.dosent bother it. Never planted seed. They plant themselfs and come up as they please !
I leaned a small branch over and burried it half way into a small hole and covered it. Just for kicks.to see if it would root. And ! It sure did 😎.
So if you cant do that.i would say. air layer it.if you wanted faster results.
Planting the seeds.and doing cuttings sounds fun though. Have fun.Enjoy.and Experiment. I like to experiment 😎🙊🙉🙈
