20 Mimosa hostilis Seeds (Wild Harvested) Jurema tenuiflora
Freshly harvested March 2016 Wild Brazilian
For outside planting, USDA Zone 9 or higher is recommended.
In nature, Mimosa tenuiflora "fruits and seeds are disseminated by the wind in a radius of 5–8 m (16–26 ft) from the mother plant; rain carries them from slopes to lower plains and human activities contribute to their dissemination."
For cultivation, the seed pods are collected once they start to spontaneously open on the tree. The collected pods are laid out in the sun so that the pods open up and release their seeds. The seeds can then be planted in sandy soil with sun exposure.
Scarification of the seed via mechanical means or by using sulfuric acid greatly increases the germination rate of the seeds over non-treatment. The seeds can be sown directly into holes in the ground or planted in prepared areas.
The seeds can germinate in temperatures ranging from 10 to 30 °C, but the highest germination rate occurs at around 25 °C (about 96%), even after four years of storage. Germination takes about 2–4 weeks.
It is also possible to propagate Mimosa tenuiflora via cuttings.
Trimming adult Mimosa tenuiflorae during the rainy season is not recommended because it can cause them to perish.
Although these seeds are viable I sell them as a collectors item,
for crafting and/or for their aesthetic value.
