germinate
(botany, horticulture) Of a seed, to begin to grow, to sprout roots and leaves.
💬 Quotations
It would suffice to keep up the full number of a tree, which lived on an average for a thousand years, if a single seed were produced once in a thousand years, supposing that this seed were never destroyed, and could be ensured to germinate in a fitting place. So that in all cases, the average number of any animal or plant depends only indirectly on the number of its eggs or seeds.
To cause to grow; to produce.
