Lillian,
Storing your seeds in the freezer may or may not harm them. Some seeds
with a thin seed coat will turn to mush when thawed out. Do not
substitute freezing for stratification. There are pretty specific
requirements as to temperature (40` is pretty typical). Refer to
Michael Dirr's Manual of Woody Plant Propagation or Hartmann & Kester
Prop. Principles and Practices for woody's. I think someone mentioned
Tom Clothier's new database for seed prop.
