When you say "middle of november" is that your timing to start cold stratifying them?
Yes exactly. Mid November I will let them come up to room temperature for a day then pop them in warm water for 24hrs. Then into a damp mix in the fridge for 3-4 months.
Not sure this is the best way to germinate. There's a lot of different methods online.

Hey Dermot, I'm glad to see you found some seeds. A couple of years ago, I tried with about 100 seeds. I got 2 seedlings. At the same time I had more normal success with a bunch of other pines.
A lot of the seeds had rotted, I don't know if it was during stratification, or more likely when they were planted out. So I would say, think carefully about what media you use and your watering regime. Best of luck!

Why not put outside where will be growing to germinate
? Protected from birds, etc of course. Personally believe germinating in dark fridge w/o fresh air circulation is bad idea

In Ireland the weather is quite unpredictable. It can cycle between relatively warm spells and hard frosts through winter and spring. Obviously it's harder control moisture levels as well.Why not put outside where will be growing to germinate
I've been germinating black pine seed's for a couple of years now. With fresh viable seed collected locally, I've had very high germination rates. I've also purchased seed's online with low germination while receiving the same treatment. If the seeds are viable they should be fine in the fridge.... Hopefully!

Concern is with dampoff. White pine need drier air conditions for good health

You could try some oitdoors in a pot of sifted perlite, under cover so they don't get rained on too much.
Have you ever seen P.Parviflora in botanical/country gardens in Ireland? Now would be a good time to collect seeds.

No. I've been looking locally but can't find any. I have a small negishi white pine in the garden with a few cones forming this year. They were under constant attack from sawfly larvae (I think).
