Alexmacrophyllums Japanese Black Pine contest

[Alexmacrophyllum]

Ordered 100 seeds from treeseeds.com on Nov. 21

Collected some cones in later October

I announced I'd like to be in the contest in the old main thread, thought I'd make my own forum for them.

So I decided not to stratify in the fridge. I understand it would have most likely been a higher and more uniform germination rate but I just threw them in 100 -2 " pots, and the rest in an anderson flat. Some are sprouting. It has been an a warm winter with hardly any rain and temps haven't gotten lower then 40 in the last month.
