- 1). Break off the wing-like structure the seed is attached to after you harvest it. Throw it away.
- 2). Put the seed in a paper bag and store it in a cool and dry place until late winter.
- 3). Take the seed out of the bag three months before you expect the last frost in your area. Put it in a container and fill it with hot tap water. Soak the seed 24 hours to soften its hard shell.
- 4). Moisten enough potting soil to cover the seed. Make a few small holes in a plastic bag. Put the soil in it.
- 5). Drain the water from the cup after 24 hours. Put the seed in the plastic bag, burying it in the potting mix.
- 6). Store the bag in your refrigerator for 100 days.
- 7). Choose a partially shaded planting site. Mix the topsoil with a 4-inch layer of compost 90 days after you complete Step 6. Work the compost to a depth of 12 to 18 inches, then leave the soil undisturbed for 10 days.
- 8). Sow the seed on the bed's surface and cover it with 3/8 inch of soil. Water thoroughly. Let the soil dry out before watering it again.
- 9). Apply a slow-release fertilizer after the seed germinates. Water regularly to keep the soil moist and pull all weeds that sprout near the maple tree.
