This being the case there is no reason to freeze them. And if what has been stated here is accurate, and I have no reason to believe it isn't, there is no need to stratify them. I have not germinated JBP but with most seeds a stratification gives higher percentages of germination. Personally, I would cold stratify for 60 to 90 days and then plant.Gotcha, thanks everybody. I just need to store the seeds till around spring when I’ll start the stratification process. The seeds are in zip lock bags with no air in them, so hopefully no risk of moisture.
Yea they are fine.Gotcha, thanks everybody. I just need to store the seeds till around spring when I’ll start the stratification process. The seeds are in zip lock bags with no air in them, so hopefully no risk of moisture.
I believe oaks are another of these exceptions. Oak seed should be collected and sown before it dries out too much.One exception to the "store seeds" rule is citrus. A dry citrus seed is a dead citrus seed. So there are exceptions to the rule. You don't see many citrus in bonsai, but there are a few.
