Seed Stratification and Germination: Fall Field Notes
Field note · September 2025
seeds drying, processing
seeds drying, processing. the acorns rested for a few weeks and now they're float tested, about half sink and that sorts out all the best ones, weevils are most of the reason. a good percentage of the floaters are also viable, it usually just means a small amount of air inside from moisture loss. plum seeds are cleaned in water with a paint mixer, then they get dried at 30C in a food dehydrator, then stored in open containers in a fridge for a couple months.
