Re: Germinating instructions sought

I have heard of a technique for use with seeds that need both scarification
and a cold period.  The seeds are frozen in iindividual icecubes and left
frozen for the necessary stratification period.  The icecubes are then
planted in there own pots and watched like any other seed.  Supposedly, the
freezing will crack the seedcoat.

I have never tried this, but it might be worth experimenting with if you
have enough seeds.
