My first question is about propagating crab apple (Malus, sp.) cultivars. Since seeds would be unlikely to come true, I would like to try cuttings. Softwood or hardwood? And what time of year? In regard to germinating ginkgo seeds, I collected some in the late fall, cleaned them of their pulp, and placed them in damp sphagnum moss in a plastic bag in the crisper of my refrigerator where they germinated in early spring. Those that had not germinated in the frig by May did so when I brought the bag out and left it at room temp for a week or so. -- Don Martinson dmartin@cdmas.crc.fmlh.edu "Existing order thrives upon ignorance and lies.
