4 seedlings sprouting, can i separate them and plant 4 trees?
Yes you can. Many of our customers have reported more than one tree seedling growing from one Tree Kit. This is very likely to happen as there are 6 to 10 seeds in each kit.
You can split the seedlings up and transplant to seperate containers. You must do this carefully and it is best to complete the transplanting when the seedlings are less than 4 weeks old from germination and have not started to produce lateral roots.
When transplanting, make sure you keep the young, juvenile root system straight and try not to bend the bottom part of the tap root.
Good Luck!
