Two weeks for most species. Sometimes you can see very tiny buds after one week.
Going on my third week today. I’m pretty sure I see some really really tiny buds starting to pop now that I looked in detail. Only time will tell though.

i'm using a trick from tony tickle on my hornbeam that was picked in april. cheap black plastic 30 gal bag from dollar store. cheap you can see thru them, so it builds humidity and gets very filtered sun light on my bench. getting tons of buds. stevek.

I just collected some sweet gum today. Being deciduous I thought now would be the time to get it. But I have now read to do it in may or June.

1. Why is this?
2. Any chance mine will make it?
