Mitragyna speciosa (Kratom) is a beautiful, hardy, and extremely tall tree, sometimes reaching heights of 30 meters! The seeds produced by these trees couldn’t be more delicate; they grow in pods that contain hundreds of seeds per pod. Because the seeds are so delicate they have a low germination rate. Kratom seeds will sprout surprisingly easy, you can expect a viability rate of about 10-20% from fresh Kratom seed pods.
