Hello!
Can anyone with the benefit of experience speak to the effectiveness of cold stratification on various crabapples?
I've come across several references to crabapples germinating in a handful of weeks online, but any genus of Malus native to the regions (Malus Baccata, Malus Ioensis) is described as needing at least as long a period of cold stratification before germination is even possible.
Currently I have some locally sourced samples in my fridge, freezer, and on a windowsill in peat and sand, but would love to hear what more experienced practitioners have seen!
