Re: Freezing seeds

Yes, seeds can be damaged, do not freeze seeds.  Seeds in nature seldom
freeze and when they do it is a slow process.  Germination is not aided by
freezing, 40 degrees is adequate.   It is usually a series of repeated
cycles of cold, warm, light, dark, wet or dry for the difficult to germinate
Midwestern seeds.  This is to insure that our irregular weather does not
start germination at the wrong time  of year.  This enables seeds that are
several years old to germinate at the right time of the year regardless of
conditions.
An informative series of books on seed germination, stratification, light,
darkness etc. is Norm Deno's "Seed Germination Theory and Practice"
published by the author
